Spring cleaning is officially underway, and while you may be shelving your favorite combat boots ’till fall, you don’t have to part ways with Dr. Martens shoes quite yet. The cult-favorite brand is kicking off the season with a slew of new spring shoes that are surprisingly lightweight and comfortable for sunny weather, with revamped platform soles, lust-worthy pastel colorways, and fresh creeper and mule silhouettes.

On top of the on-trend array of men’s and women’s shoes, each of the new releases from Dr. Martens feature comfort-focused features that are guaranteed to add pep in your step. For one, the Zebzag Suede Casual Slingback Platform Mules, available in soft green, pink, black, and tan, read effortless for everyday, with a convenient slip-on fit, soft uppers, and adjustable strapping. They also include buoyant new hybrid air-cushioned soles that expertly combine EVA cushioning and rugged PVC for plush underfoot support and supremely stable traction that won’t weigh you down.

Dr. Martens always delivers on high-style creeper shoes, and the new drop takes the brand’s signature a step forward in supple, full grain Westminster leather atop the Ramsey Suede Kiltie Buckle Creepers. Available in the same spring-ready hues as the Zebzag mules, the stompers come topped with a leather ‘kiltie’ and classic Monk strap, while a cleated, 1980s-inspired BEN sole provides ample traction for all kinds of warm weather adventures, whether you’re hitting a music festival, scaling city streets, or posting up for a picnic in the park.

If you’re looking for a shoe that can take on the April showers (before we’re rewarded with those blissful May flowers), the Ramsey Smooth Leather Creepers boast all the same high-durability construction and, as opposed to suede, are far more wet weather-safe. The edgier lace-up style comes in versatile black and white colorways, complete with contrasting vamp detailing and the same reimagined cleated sole. Or, look to the Ramsey 3-Eye Zebra Print & Leather Plaform Creepers for an elevated take on this season’s animal print trend, which stack up on easy-walking wedge soles and a graphic, statement-worthy vamp, which is sure to infuse timeless flair in any bold or monochromatic ensemble.
