Dr. Martens is introducing a new way for shoppers to save money, thanks to a fresh section in their stores.
The well-known bootmaker is catching on to the growing movement for sustainable fashion.
Dr. Martens Launches Pre-Owned Shoe Store
Dr. Martens has started selling worn and pre-owned footwear online, offering a unique shopping experience for fans.
Through a special website, shoppers can explore a range of second-hand styles. But these aren't just any used Dr. Martens boots. Every pair at ReWair has been meticulously refurbished, making them stand out from typical finds at a thrift shop.
Skilled technicians have carefully restored each pair, performing deep cleaning and necessary repairs. These shoes come from returned orders or damaged or defective items and have gone through authentication, inspection, cleaning, and restoration.
Customers can choose from shoes in three conditions: 'Excellent condition' shows no noticeable flaws, 'Good condition' includes some signs of wear or minor imperfections, and 'Fair condition' displays more apparent signs of wear.
This initiative promises customers the opportunity to own Dr. Martens shoes that carry "a new life, same attitude," ensuring the iconic spirit of the brand lives on in each pair.
Dr. Martens is making is easier and more affordable for budget-conscious shoppers to own a piece of the iconic brand. Customers can see significant savings by choosing a pair from the ReWair collection.
Take, for example, the famous 1460 men's waterproof lace-up boots. In 'fair condition' through the ReWair program, these boots are priced at just $90, a noticeable drop from a brand-new pair's $160 price tag.

There's a bonus for those who already own a pair of Dr. Martens. Customers can trade in their old boots for a $20 discount voucher, which they can use towards purchasing a new pair at Dr. Martens stores in Los Angeles, California, and Portland, Oregon. While online trade-ins aren't an option, the ReWair website hints at plans, urging customers to "Stay tuned; there's more to come."
Beyond the savings, buying second-hand is a nod towards environmental sustainability. Dr. Martens joins other major brands like Carhartt and Lululemon in the resale market, offering a greener shopping alternative that benefits both the planet and the wallet.
