About Dr Martens
There is a first time for everything and for many people their first pair of Dr.
Martens is a memorable moment in time, an opening statement of rebellious self-
expression and creativity. Over the past 50 years Dr. Martens boots and shoes
haven't changed - the original styles are still simple, versatile, functional
and stylish all at the same time.
Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, designed by German inventor, Dr. Klaus Maertens,
was engineered primarily to meet the specific need of providing additional
support and comfort for his broken foot.
The Dr. Martens boot, manufactured by R Griggs and Co, British boot makers, with
its trademark yellow stitch, grooved sole and heel-loop, was a boot for workers;
comfortable, durable and lightweight in comparison to its competitors at the
time.
Initially worn by postmen, policemen and everyday workers, the boots were
adopted, customised and used across decade after decade, as a tribal emblem by
successive subcultures, each twisting and subverting the boots and shoes to meet
their own individual identity.
A specific range of "Made In England" products are still manufactured in the
Cobbs Lane factory, Wollaston, England which has been making footwear for the
Griggs family since 1901. It is the home of the original Dr. Martens boot and
within this small factory works a close-knit team of people schooled in
traditional shoe-making and the unique process that makes Dr. Martens like no
other shoe on earth.
This is the factory where it all began; where the first pair of Dr. Martens
boots rolled off the production line on April 1st, 1960. The manufacturing
process has been fine-tuned and perfected ever since - from the cutting of the
leather hides to the heat-sealing with a blade of fire that welds the air-
cushioned sole to the upper.
