New York – September 11, 2026 -- Dr. Martens has launched a new loafer collection built to move beyond seasonal footwear, positioning the classic silhouette as an everyday alternative to sneakers.
The Mayfare Loafer reworks the penny loafer in polished black leather
The Mayfare Loafer, made from Polished Black Smooth leather, features a moc toe and penny strap detail. It sits on a V18 low-profile sole with a subtle welt, giving it a sleeker profile than Dr. Martens' more classic boot styles.
The Adrian Tassel Loafer adds formal detailing in Burgundy leather
Crafted from Burgundy Arcadia leather, the Adrian Tassel Loafer is built for day-to-night wear. It uses Dr. Martens' signature air-cushioned sole and Goodyear-welted, heat-sealed construction for durability.
The Penton Loafer targets transitional weather in Spiced Brown
Made from Mayhem leather with a corrected grain finish, the Penton Loafer combines a moc toe, penny slot and deep cleats. It rests on a BEN sole with air-cushioned comfort and the brand's signature yellow welt stitching.
The Delapre Penny Loafer is part of the brand's Made in England range
The Delapre Penny Loafer uses Repello Calf suede sourced from the C.F. Stead tannery and is treated with a Scotchgard finish for water and stain resistance. It pairs a penny slot and moc toe with heat-sealed, groove-edge construction and an air-cushioned sole.
John Hensman, Head of Design for Footwear at Dr. Martens, said the loafer has become one of the most versatile shoes in the modern wardrobe, tracing its roots to early 20th-century Europe before becoming a staple of 1950s American youth culture.
The full collection is available now on drmartens.com, in Dr. Martens stores, and through select retailers worldwide.
