I wouldn’t be back to NZ if I didn’t visit Pat Menzies. The iconic shoe shop is now two shops in Canterbury Arcade on Queen Street – an entire side dedicated to converse – and is still easily NZ’s best Dr. Marten’s store. 

Currently they are having a massive sale, which is super rare, so I went in to not only catch up, but pick my 5 best picks. If you’re on the hunt for some cool winter shoes that won’t break the bank, here’s your chance. 

Read on to find out my favourite sale picks:

1. Dr. Martens Iced 3 Eye Shoe in Cherry Red. $174.00

Funnily enough these were my first pair of docs! I managed to get a second hand pair at a flea market and wore then to DEATH.  This colour is so classic and I was very surprised to find them on sale. Go get them now if you’ve ever thought about them, you will not regret it. Get them here.

2. PAMPALICIOUS BOOTS in Popcorn. $60. 

I’ve always wanted a pair of these and at 60 bucks it’s hard to say no. I love the bright yellow- these are the ultimate 90s throwback. how great with check flannel would these look? Get them here. 

 

 

3. Dr. Martens 8 EYE BOOT in Green. $192.

I love the classic Dr. Marten 8 eye. This boot goes with everything and I’m not sure that there is another shoe that’s so universally well known and iconic. this is a great colour if you’re wanting something that isn’t black, but still won’t be too eye-catching. Get them here.

 

 

4. Dr. Marten 8 EYE BOOT in Peppermint.

Speaking of of the 8 eye boot, if you are after some colour – check out the peppermint. Such a cute colour, and surprisingly for something so bright, works with most colour palettes. Get them here. 

 

5. Converse PRO LEATHER LOW in White. $112.00.

There are SO many great Converse shoes on sale. I picked these ones because they are a classic sneaker that will go with everything. I’ve had 3-4 pairs of Converse all stars in my life, and they are always a fantastic sneaker. Get them here.
