Made for babies, these decorative, soft soled, Dr Marten's lace-up boots are far removed from the brand's hard wearing, orthopedic forbearers; but they share many of the adult boot's features, such as the bouncing soles, black laces, 'Air Wair' heel tag and the iconic yellow stitching around the sole.
