Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
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 founders 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. On 1 April. 1960, the first cherry-red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

Put a bounce in your step,
By H. Beentje "Henk Beentje" (Kew, England) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Dr Martens Unisex 1460 Boot (Shoes)
What is not to like? This is a true classic, and even if you don't care a hoot about classics, it is a seriously good boot. The air-sole puts a little bounce in your step; it gives good ankle support; it feels all-round good, and it looks pretty neat, too. Mind you, you have to walk them in a bit - they are not comfortable right from the beginning. But don't give up, walk around in small bits at the start, and in a while it will shape itself to your feet and feel like a perfect fit. Some people recommend putting them in a bucket of water and then walking around the block in them, sopping wet, to speed up the process, but I haven't tried that!I have had mine for four years and they are great. Oxblood red, if you must know, which contrasts well with the yellow trim. I have walked in town, at work and on long walks through the wilds of Surrey with them, and they are great.

All round comfort,
By Karen (Berkshire UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr Martens Unisex 1460 Boot (Apparel)
I brought these boots expecting them to be heavy being a woman but how wrong I was.The first time I wore them they were pure comfort no blisters or sore feet like I always get from other footwear. I got them because I got fed up buying cheap footwear thats only last a month. I am really pleased with these and wear them everywhere and would recommend them to anyone. Well worth paying the price for comfort.

The all round boot,
By
This review is from: Dr Martens Unisex 1460 Boot (Apparel)
I've always wanted a pair of these boots. I can't think of anything more practical. I've worn them at work (trousers hide the top bit), socially (with jeans or combat trousers) and on my motorcycle (keeps your ankles warm).The latter is a real boon because you can get off the bike and walk around in comfort (try doing that in motorcycle boots). OK they're not as protective as proper motorcycle boots, but they do give some ankle support and have a tough sole. They're OK for short trips. I love them and wonder why it's taken so long for me to buy a pair. 2115|R2DH645JSAVJUB;2115|RSI4XWQPAWFEI;2115|R2UKGV0N7RDY35;
