Can I use a Dr Martens student discount with other vouchers?

Our favorite Dr Martens piece to buy this season
Dr Martens is so well loved because of its timelessness and versatility, and this is why we always recommend making one of your first purchases a staple pair of boots that you know you will never tire of. Our absolute favorites are the platform Sinclair boots, available in three gorgeous hues and in textured, pebbled leather that is soft and comfortable for day-long wear.
These shoes have been one of Dr Martens’ most popular styles for well over five years now, so you can be sure that they are a style piece that is here to stay. The perfect combination of edgy and practical, this style can be easily dressed up or down to suit all manner of occasions for every season - a perfect capsule wardrobe purchase. Featuring a two-inch platform and detachable zip fastening, they add height whilst also being easy to slip on and off - a welcome change from tedious lace-up styles.
One of the main selling points of Dr Martens boots over all others on the market is the incredible quality that they offer, and we can confirm this really is true. Even after years of regular wear, you can still expect your boots to look almost as good as new (with the right upkeep). With this pair in particular, the thick sole can withstand a lot of bashing. So although the Sinclairs are at the pricier end of the Dr Martens spectrum, the cost per wear is so low that you really won’t find a better investment. Plus, even a 10% discount will give you a huge saving of £18.90 on these boots, offering a fantastic deal. Dr Martens are always releasing variations on this silhouette too, and you can regularly find them in the sale section of the site. For a pair of boots that is trendy, practical and timeless, these always have our vote.
