Dr. Martens air-cushioned sole, designed by German inventor, Dr. Klaus Maertens, was engineered to meet the specific need of providing additional support and comfort for a 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.
Dr. Martens continue to make the Made In England collection at the unique Cobb’s Lane factory, which has been producing footwear for the Griggs family since 1901.
Dr. Martens – an immediately recognisable, UK product classic.
