Dr. Martens is a legendary brand that originated near Munich, Germany in 1945. The story began when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during his healing process, he designed 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, and they decided to further develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve Dr. Maertens' immediate problem, but it also gained popularity in Germany.
By 1959, they realized the need for a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then known as Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. Initially, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air-cushioned sole, considering it a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group in Wollaston, England, embraced the idea and created the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On April 1, 1960, they produced the first cherry-red, eight-eyelet work boot, which was named 1460. To better market the brand in England, it was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded as AirWair, and the rest is history.
