I've owned Doc Martens boots for a decade now, and while they take some time to break into, they're the most comfortable shoes I've owned. With Amazon's October Prime Day deals in full swing, now's the perfect time to buy — and it's fall, so why not treat yourself to a new pair to complement your outfits?

I bought my most recent pair last year and now I really wish I'd waited until today. That's because my Dr. Martens Unisex-Adult Combs Tech II are currently 20% off at Amazon. Unlike traditional Doc Martens leather boots, these are made of canvas so they're easier to break into and are mighty comfortable. Or if you want a pair of Oxford boots, the Dr. Martens Women's Holly Oxford are currently 50% off at Amazon.

You can save up to $85 with these Doc Martens Prime Day deals, so what are you waiting for? Time to lace up!
