Find Your Dr Martens Mary Jane Style

Dr Martens 8065 Original

The original 8065 Mary Jane gives the traditional silhouette a tougher Docs identity. It features two adjustable buckle straps, decorative brogue detailing and the classic grooved AirWair sole with yellow welt stitching.

Choose the black 8065 Smooth Leather Mary Jane for a structured, polished finish that softens with wear. If you prefer a more flexible feel from the beginning, consider the 8065 in Virginia leather.

Dr Martens 8065 II Bex Platform - Limited Edition

The 8065 II Bex retains the double-strap Mary Jane upper but adds a taller, chunkier Bex sole. This is the option for customers searching for Dr Martens platform Mary Jane shoes or wanting a stronger, more elevated profile.

Dr Martens Polley T-Bar Shoes

The Polley has a traditional single T-bar strap rather than the 8065’s two straps. Its clean shape offers a more streamlined interpretation of the Dr Martens Mary Jane while retaining recognisable Docs construction and attitude.

Smooth Leather or Virginia Leather?

Smooth leather is firm, hardwearing and easy to polish. It has the structured appearance associated with classic black Dr Martens shoes and normally requires a gradual break-in period.

Virginia leather is softer and more flexible, with a lightly textured finish. It is a useful alternative for customers who like the 8065 shape but want less initial stiffness.

Dark Brown Crazy Horse Leather

For a more rugged, lived-in look, choose the Dr Martens 8065 Dark Brown Crazy Horse Leather Mary Jane. Crazy Horse is a heavyweight leather with a distressed, textured finish that develops unique creases, marks and colour variations with wear.

The rich dark brown upper is finished with double adjustable straps, horseshoe buckles, the classic grooved AirWair sole and signature yellow welt stitching. It is an ideal alternative to polished black Smooth leather for customers wanting an earthy, character-rich 8065 that becomes increasingly individual over time.

Dr Martens Mary Jane Fit

Dr Martens Mary Jane sizing can vary according to the style, leather and height of your instep. Adjustable straps help refine the fit, but customers between sizes should check the centimetre measurements in our Dr Martens size guide.

Smooth leather may feel firm around the toe, straps or heel when new. Begin with shorter periods of wear and comfortable socks while the leather softens. Contact Foot Forward if you would like help comparing sizes or choosing between Smooth and Virginia leather.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 8065 and 8065 II Bex?

The original 8065 uses the standard Dr Martens AirWair sole. The 8065 II Bex has a noticeably higher, chunkier platform-style sole.

Are the 8065 and Polley the same?

No. The 8065 has two adjustable straps, while the Polley has a single T-bar strap. They also have different upper shapes and styling details.

Do Dr Martens Smooth Leather Mary Janes need breaking in?

Smooth leather is deliberately firm and durable, so it can feel stiff initially. Gradual wear helps the leather soften and conform more closely to your feet.

Which leather is softest?

Virginia leather generally feels softer and more flexible from the first wear. Smooth leather has a firmer, more polished and structured finish.

Can anyone wear Dr Martens Mary Janes?

The products may be displayed using women’s sizing, but the designs can be worn by anyone. Use the UK, US, EU and centimetre conversions provided for each product to find the appropriate size.
