10 Doc Marten Dupes and Alternatives - Starting at $27

These Doc Marten alternatives from Target are under $50 and come in different shoe widths!

One verified buyer left an extensive review and said, "I loved the fact they came in a wide option. I decided to keep the 6 1/2 wide because I had extra wiggle room for my toes/feet even with thick socks and the size 6 felt way too snug while wearing thick socks. I absolutely love these because they're almost like the platform doc martens but without having to break them in and without the stiffness. They are comfortable right away when you walk in them. Plus the price isn't that bad. I love my boots."

These ASOS Ava lace-up boots are the closest thing to the classic Dr. Martens 1460 silhouette without the chunky platform - clean black finish, traditional eyelet lacing, and a flat sole. You get the combat-boot look at a fraction of the price, and they're easier to break in than Docs.

The Steve Madden Buffy is one of the closest matches to the original Doc Marten 1460 I've found at this price tier - same lace-up combat shape, ankle height, and structured silhouette, but with a refined finish that doesn't scream "dupe." Pairs equally well with denim and a slip dress, and the leather softens up after a couple of wears.

If you haven’t heard of Dream Pairs, they basically make dupes for just about every shoe out there. They’re mostly sold on Amazon and TikTok, and they’re super affordable. I own a pair of their New Balance sneaker dupes, and for the price, they’re pretty solid. They may not be the highest quality, but they’re definitely worth what you pay for them.

You can always count on Shein for carrying the most affordable dupes. These Dr. Marten dupes are less than $30 and look very similar to the original!

Dr. Scholl's is known for making some of the most comfortable shoes around. These leather boots are sustainably crafted, featuring a lining, topcloth, recycled toebox, and heel counter, plus all made from recycled materials. They also come with anti-microbial and anti-odor insoles to keep your shoes fresh.

I like how these boots have the white stitching and not the classic yellow stitching that Doc Martens have. It is more subtle and can be dressed up or down. Some people say they are true to size and some are saying they sized up. I always like to size up in boots so I can wear thick socks with them in the winter.

These boots are made from vegan leather and feature a soft suede lining, keeping your feet both comfortable and breathable all day long.

I read a review that said, "These boots are so cute! I was looking for a Dr. Marten’s dupe and these were a fraction of the price! They fit true to size and are comfortable. I also love the inside zipper so I don’t have to untie the laces every time I take them off. Such a cute closet staple!!"

Not your traditional Doc Marten style, but love the platform heel on these. They come in different colors and have good customer reviews. 

One buyer said, "They are so cute and not too heavy! They are a bit stiff but they look so good and they run true to size perfectly fit! I love that the stitching is white too not yellow! Such a versatile shoe! A little shiny, would like them a bit more matte but for the price and everything considered fast shipping and all, these are like a more affordable doc Marten and I'll take affordable any day!!"

The Doc Marten Oxford and loafer styles are honestly some of the hardest to find dupes for - most alternatives focus on the classic 1460 boot. These from Amazon are a solid find. They are under $50, have only 5-star reviews, and the chunky lug sole gives the same vibe as Docs. I would style these with wide leg trousers and a tucked-in button down for that cool, androgynous fall look.
