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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome boots! 4 Nov 2012

If you like Dr Martens then you must buy these boots.

The Vintage Dr Martens are hand made in Northampton and are a far greater quality product than the normal DMs made in Thailand.

They will take some wearing in as the leather is thicker but will be worth it.

Regardless of the price, be it £75 or £215, these boots are worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars skinhead 10 Jan 2010
These vintage are 100% better than them iconic dm make from thailand.

These vintage are made here in England Northants i think the boot don't have that logo imbossed on the side of the boot like them silly iconic ones do.

The leather is a lot thicker and the upper is some what taller, the foot size is true unlike the iconic which is half a size to big and the sole will last 100% longer and will not leak plus the sole is a completely differant shap.

I have a pair of these vintage dm's i've had them a year and the sole is still as good as when i first brought them.
