We often hear about prominent outdoor and sports manufacturers supplying clothing and shoes to the military as suppliers, but it is not well known that the famous shoe brand was responsible for the uniforms of the Royal Mail (British postal service).
This time, we would like to introduce the Royal Mail postman shoes manufactured by Dr. Martens. Moreover, they are rare and were made in England in the 1990s. At a quick glance, they look like ordinary oxfords, but a closer look reveals details not found in Dr. Martens' inline models, making them a rare find. BRACKETS, one of the leading Eurovintage stores in Tokyo, succeeded in purchasing a limited quantity of these shoes.
Dr.Martin Leather Shoes for Royal Mail SIZE：UK7 ¥24,800+TAX
Let's take a closer look at the details. First, the number of eyelets. Dr. Martens' oxfords usually have 3-hole eyelets, but the Royal Mail has 4-hole eyelets. Moreover, the familiar yellow stitching on the heel has been eliminated in favor of an all-black design.
The insole and heel counter bear the "Royal Mail" name. The padded footbed is also a unique feature of this model.
The sole will be marked "MADE IN ENGLAND". The sole pattern is also different from the regular model, with a rugged sole pattern.
A pair of Royal Mail, not unlike Dr. Martens' standard Oxfords. This rare model will be available for pre-sale at "Finam's" before it goes on sale in stores. Tomorrow, Thursday the 16th, at 12:00,Store page for this "Bracket" herewill be uploaded to the website, so check back soon if you are at all interested. I envy those who have the right size!
