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.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I've had quite a few pairs of boots in my time & for years I swore by DMs, but I had quite a few pairs which didn't last at all well, so I changed to Ranger's instead, but they weren't as comfy as DMs.
I've just bought these to see if they can last more than the normal 3 months or so that they normally do before the sole goes kaput.
Tried them on today, the perfect fit & worn them all day and so comfy & warm to wear.
So good I might just buy another pair of 1490's in Cherry/Oxblood, then again it might be 1914's.
It should be noted that these are the cheaper Chinese made ones, you can get the "Vintage" ones which are made in the original factory at Wollaston, Northamptonshire, but they are much more expensive & whether they would/will last any longer than these I don't know.
You pays your money and takes your choice!

Colour Name:Cherry Red|Size Name:8 UK F
These boots are simply great. This is my second purchase of Dr. Martens and I should say that the product met my expectations. The boots are robust, quite rigid, but after you put them on for the second time, they become flexible enough. No disagreeable feelings at all.
Resume: pleasure to wear.

These were my first pair of Dr Marten's, and I can say almost certainly they will not be my last. I was glad to have followed the advice of other buyers of Dr Marten's, I am usually UK size 5 but I bought a size 6 and they fit with only a little room to spare. I'm really glad I bought them.

Great boots
These boots arrived on time, in perfect condition, and I really, really like them. I did worry about the size as some places say they're snug, some that they're over-roomy. Read more
