Style Code: 16054001-BLK Colour: Black Created by looking into Dr. Martens archive for design inspiration, these styles have been replicated to look as they were when first manufactured. The specification on leather, colour and method of manufacture is precise. A more traditional biscuit-backed leather has been used and colour-matched to archive samples that came out of the factory in the earlier days of Dr. Martens. The last shape is shallower and the sole colour has also been altered to match the older shade. Laces are flat and cotton, exact copies of the original versions found.The 5 Eyelet Monkey Boot Vintage Smooth is a retro version of our signature smooth leather with a subtle grained effect and contrast base colour. This is a Goodyear-welted product meaning the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions. Dr. Martens air-cushion sole is oil and fat-resistant and offers good abrasion and slip resistance.   Product Features Archival design 5 Eyelet setup Original laces Original sole design and colour Goodyear-welted construction Abrasion and slip-resistant sole Please Note: Although part of the MIE Archival Collection and made to the specifications of the originals, today, the boots are made in Thailand Materials & Care Upper:100% Leather Lining:75% Textile, 25% Leather Sole: 100% PVC A retro version of our signature smooth leather with subtle grained effect and contrast base colour Clean away dirt using a damp cloth and allow to dry, then apply a Dr. Martens Neutral or colour wax shoe polish as appropriate to restore shine as desired.
