Stylish Boots For Baby & Kids: Dr. Martens A/W 2014 Kids' Collection

Looking for a stylish first pair of boots for baby or your active toddler? Now, parents who love the original Dr. Marten's range of boots need not look further. The brand well known for setting standards for comfort, durability, design and its trademark look since 1960, has its own line of baby and kids shoes. Check out their A/W'14 Kids' Collection, available in three age groups: babies, toddlers and juniors. 

Auburn in Small British Camo T Canvas & Vintage Garden Softy T

The baby booties make such unique baby shower gifts as they are packaged in a miniature version of a traditional Dr. Martens shoe box with a ribbon and gift tag. They are made to replicate a 1460 8-eye boot but with a soft sole and attention to detail - the famous sole pattern is replicated on the base of the booties, the yellow stitch and fabric heel tab at the back.

Stand out from the crowd with these must haves for your kids' wardrobe to give their outfits an extra ooomph and to boost the mini fashionista look. We visited their store at Orchard Central to check out the new range and had a hard time deciding on the styles and the classic leather or unique prints.

Here are our choices for Aiden and Ava.

 

On Aiden:

Bruiser Junior Capper Boot 
Material: Softy T, Price: $139

An exact replica of the original Capper Boot, this pair of boots has the distinctive contrast stitch, the yellow and black heel loop and gold branding on the side. There's also a side zip for ease of use by small fingers. Love the light weight soft leather, which helps Aiden get used to wearing boots. It's definitely comfortable to run about and jump in, judging from the way he does, with Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole. We went with the classic black as it is not easy finding the right pair of black foot wear. This gives an edge to the outfit he's wearing and goes perfectly well with his new hairstyle too.

 

 

On Ava:

Brooklee Infant Lace Boot (Green Camo)

Material: Em Small British Camo Waxy, Price: $99

This 4 eyelet infant boot in green camo print is an unusual choice for a girl. We wanted to steer away from the girly prints and to add a twist to Ava's outfits with this pair of boots. This also comes with the classic attributes of yellow stitch, heel loop, Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole and a side zip for little fingers. She loves playing with the heel loop now and this keeps her occupied during car rides.

Good things do come in small packages.

Dr. Marten's A/W '14 Kids' Collection ranges from $79 for the Auburn Lace Bootie to $159 for the Delaney Juniors Lace Boot. The collection is now available at Dr. Martens stores in Singapore.
