Why We Love This Deal
Early this summer, Men’s Journal reported on a huge drop in Dr. Martens’ sales, fueled by what was referred to as a “challenging market” in the U.K. The effects of what’s happening overseas may be catching up here in the U.S.: Though Docs are still very popular, we’re now seeing many styles at discounted rates, especially at Zappos.
At least for right now, consumers can enjoy lesser albeit sporadic pricing for a bit, including the Dr. Martens Combs Jungle Zip Casual Boots, which are now marked down to as low as $64. They’re currently available in men’s sizes 4 through 14 on the site, but they’re starting to disappear. Make sure to tap “Men” and “US” under the gender selection to find your appropriate size.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: 4-14
- Colorways: 3, though the Gunmetal has the best price.
- Notable Feature: Removable jungle zip
- Best Use Case: A fashionable boot that can take some weather.
What makes these Docs special is the inclusion of a removable jungle zip. Used commonly in Vietnam-era military boots, the idea is to create a quick-release mechanism should the boot get stuck in mud. It also makes for quicker donning than a regularly laced boot. It’s surprisingly simple to apply the Dr. Martens jungle zip, should you want it.

Ultimately, though, these are fashion boots made for everyday life, not the military. There are no water drainage holes that you might see on combat boots, and that’s frankly a good thing. The combination of weatherproofed leather and strong stitching is going to be way more productive for casual wear.
Pair the boots with scrunchy jeans, a field watch, and a tough-looking jacket for a stylized look, or just wear the boots with your regular get-up as a fashionable alternative to waterproof boots.
The Dr. Martens Combs Jungle Zip Casual Boots are at their lowest price in 30 days at Zappos, at least for now, but sizes are disappearing—make sure to grab your size ASAP if you want one.
