These Cyber Monday deals on a range of Dr Martens shoes might convince you it's finally time to invest in a pair - or add to your collection

I'll be honest: I've always been a bit wary of Dr Martens shoes. Every single person I know that wears them will claim they're the best investment their feet have ever made...while simultaneously acknowledging that wearing them in is akin to torture and takes bloody ages. My wife absolutely swears by them, though, and courtesy of Amazon's Cyber Monday deals, you can now pick up some pairs for much cheaper.

One pair that caught my eye immediately were these womens Slip Resistant Service Boots, as they're almost identical to the pair my wife has been wearing over the last few years, which have lasted her magnificently. They're down %17 from $150 to $124.95 , which isn't a gigantic saving, but it's still over twenty five bucks less than you'd have paid otherwise for a pair of shoes that will certainly last you the distance. If you're after something a little more out-there, these colourful Pascal Mid Calf Boots are down 36%, were $170, now $109.

If you're looking ahead to summer and want a pair of Docs you can wear in in time to take on holiday, these strapped platform sandals are on sale at up to 33% off, available for as low as $107.83. Love Dr Martens but are all about that plant life? Don't worry, we've got you covered too: these lovely vegan Chelsea Boots are also on sale at up to 49% off, down to $87.08 from $170. That's almost half price! Be warned, though: discounts can vary wildly depending on size, style and even colour, so make sure you have a good nose around if you don't find the deal you're looking for immediately.

If you're not fussed about shoes I'll ask you two simple questions: 1) how did you end up here anyway?! and 2) make sure you check out our Cyber Monday music deals page for the ultimate round-up in the best savings you can make on vinyl, tech, merch, collectables and much more.
