A broken foot is no joke, especially in a war. Dr. Klaus Maertens understood this firsthand, and it was his unfortunate experience that led to the creation of the iconic Dr. Martens brand. His design for safe, yet comfortable footwear caught the attention of Griggs, a shoe company from the heart of England, and that’s when everything changed. Today, Dr. Martens represents quality, durability, and safety—while offering unmatched comfort, as the leather molds to your feet after just a few steps.
Dr. Martens as a Cult Icon
Since its official debut in 1947, Dr. Martens has become a symbol of subculture and rebellion, particularly among fans of hard rock music. The shoes’ high rubber soles, distinctive height, and reinforced toe caps made them iconic. In fact, the unique toe reinforcement played a key role in their widespread use in street fights, particularly in England. So much so, that they were banned from several stadiums and pubs.
But today, there’s no need to worry about any bans. At Footshop, you can explore iconic Dr. Martens models like the 1460, 1461, 2976 boots, and other standout pieces for both men and women. Add a pair to your footwear collection and step into a world of timeless style.
