DR MARTENS

The story of Dr. Martens amphibians is unique, like all great stories. Dr. Martens combat boots are the brainchild of the doctor from whom they take their name. Doctor Klaus Maertens invented Dr. Martens combat boots in search of a more comfortable shoe to wear following an injury. He thus invented a special cushioned cushion for the sole which, combined with a softer type of leather, became the first model of Dr. Martens combat boots. At the end of the Second World War, Dr. Maertens began the mass production of Dr. Martens combat boots , which immediately established themselves on the market, thanks above all to women who preferred them for their comfort and durability. The brand was later purchased by the English company Griggs. The sole of the Dr. Martens combat boots is redesigned and made rounder, the characteristic rear strap is added and finally the famous yellow stitching between the sole and upper. It is in England that Dr. Martens combat boots as we know them were born and it is here that they became very widespread among workers, acquiring the reputation of workers' shoes. From the world of work to the underground, the step is short and Dr. Martens combat boots become the shoe par excellence of the youth subcultures of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, up to the present day, in which Dr. Martens combat boots continue to make history.

First orthopedic shoes, then work shoes, then underground shoes, Dr. Martens combat boots have followed a unique and compelling journey. The resistance and comfort of the original Dr. Martens amphibian model are a constant that makes these shoes an exceptional product and their long history makes them a fashion classic. Today Dr. Martens amphibians are a glamorous shoe, available in dozens of variations and colours, for men and women, which cannot be missing from any shoe rack.
