After making waves this summer with the viral Zebzag Mule, Dr. Martens continues its exploration of comfort and edge by expanding the Zebzag sole into new silhouettes. Designed for effortless wear, the latest boots bring the brand’s signature craftsmanship and rebellious attitude into year-round versatility.
“The Zebzag sole is purposefully engineered to meet the demands of modern life — blending exceptional craftsmanship, durability, and everyday comfort. These new silhouettes move with you, fitting seamlessly into any wardrobe while delivering the unmistakable Dr. Martens edge,” says Adam Meek, Chief Product Officer at Dr. Martens.
Leading the launch is the Zebzag Laceless Boot, inspired by the brand’s iconic 1460 model and reimagined for ease. The laceless design maintains the classic lace-up aesthetic, crafted in relaxed black Wyoming leather that feels both lived-in and fresh straight out of the box. The look is completed with Dr. Martens’ signature black and yellow heel loop.
Sitting slightly lower on the ankle, the Zebzag Rigger Boot draws from industrial silhouettes and redefines them for everyday comfort. Also a slip-on, the Rigger features double pull tabs, puritan stitch detailing, and comes in black Wyoming leather or water-resistant Milled Nubuck in seasonal tones.
At the heart of both designs lies the Zebzag sole, built around a cushioned core that combines a lightweight EVA midsole with a durable PVC tread. Simple, ergonomic, and impressively light, it encapsulates the essence of Dr. Martens DNA — complete with a wider base, bold grooves, and the brand’s iconic yellow welt stitching. Inside, SoftWair insoles provide an added layer of calm and comfort.
