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.

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.

Colour Name:Black|Size Name:12 UK F
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.

The brand name speaks for itself - reliable and durable footwear which will last and last. I bought these as walking boots as they give your ankle such good support, and they're as sturdy as ever without looking like a hiking boot. The bouncy, cushioned sole is a great bonus too, as it takes the jarring edge off walking (especially downhill) and gives you a bit of spring in your step. They're also really smart and look very decent with trousers or jeans!

Only good for a few months.
Not Great. The leather has some kind of treatment which doesn't respond to shoe-polish or dubbin. As a result, it has started to crack at the crease points after just 6 months. Read more

The boots are beautifully made and good-looking. They are useful in bad weather because, so far, they have not wet through.
