About Dr. Martens:

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 and designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole to aid in his healing process. Utilizing old rubber tires, he created soles with closed compartments filled with air. He shared his prototype with his friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, an engineer and inventor, and they decided to develop and produce the shoes together. The shoe not only solved Dr. Maertens' immediate problem but also gained popularity in Germany.

In 1959, Dr. Maertens and Dr. Funck recognized the need for a company to produce and distribute their shoes, known at the time as Dr. Maertens, worldwide. Initially, many manufacturers rejected the idea of an air-cushioned sole, considering it a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group in Wollaston, England embraced the concept 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 enhance the brand's appeal in England, it was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range became known as AirWair, and the rest is history.
