First made in the mid-'60s, the unisex 3989 Brogue shoe features a unique combo of black-and-white wingtip style with thick, extra-chunky AirWair™ Bouncing Soles — a rebellious union of proper menswear, counterculture attitude and pure style. • Made with classic Doc's DNA, including grooved edges and visible stitching • Built on the iconic Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, which is oil and fat resistant with good abrasion and slip resistance • Platform height: 1 in; Heel height: 1 3/8 in MATERIAL Smooth - durable and famously stiff to start, this leather can be polished to a dapper shine or artfully scuffed-up depending on your preference. These were my personal shoes I wore them once but they are a men’s size 9 and they were a half size too big and Docs need to be the right size. They are an absolutely excellent condition but like I’d always say please see all pictures for the accuracy of my description as well as the condition of the shoe. Contact me with any relatively sane questions you may have. Thank you.
