Dr. Martens

UK · Footwear

Dr. Martens is a British footwear brand, originating from a design by German physician Klaus Märtens in 1945. The brand's iconic eight-eyelet boot, the 1460, was first produced in 1960 in Wollaston, England. Known for its air-cushioned sole, yellow stitching, and durable construction, Dr. Martens boots became a symbol of working-class pride and later adopted by various subcultures, including punks, goths, and skinheads. The brand maintains its cultural significance as a durable and rebellious footwear staple.
