Dr. Martens, the legendary brand, has a fascinating history. It all started in 1945 near Munich, Germany when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot while skiing in the beautiful Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during his healing process, he came up with the idea of designing a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he created soles with closed compartments filled with trapped air. He shared his prototype with his friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, an engineer and inventor, who saw great potential and joined forces to develop and produce these innovative shoes.
Not only did these shoes solve Dr. Maertens' immediate problem, but they also gained popularity in Germany. In 1959, they realized the need for a company to manufacture and distribute these shoes globally. Initially, many manufacturers dismissed the idea of an air-cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, situated in Wollaston village, England, embraced the concept and created the first work boot with this revolutionary sole. On April 1st, 1960, they produced the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot, which was named the 1460. To better resonate with English customers, the brand was anglicized to Dr. Martens. It was branded as AirWair, and the rest is history.
