Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his 

engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole.

    •  Great style. It gives me that tomboyish-metal-goth vibe. I love the thick soles. I wore these to an outdoor concert and walked over lots of rocks. The boots really do bounce back and kept me steady on my feet. My shoe size is 9 1/2, but I typically order up and get a 10. The size 10 runs large. I added some insoles that made them extra cushioned. If you lace them to the top, make sure to wear some pants or socks because the leather is thick and uncomfortable. These will take time to break in. I'll be wearing these boots until they fall apart and with the great quality, it'll take a long time.
