About Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens was launched as a work boot company in England in 1901 by the Griggs family. It was a collaboration in 1960 that gave Dr. Martens boots their iconic “Bouncing Soles” air-cushioned technology, between the Griggs family and Dr. Klaus Maertens, who had designed the sole to aid the healing of a broken foot. In 1970s England, Dr. Martens boots between the part of the uniform for punks, goths and other anti-establishment youth.

Dr. Martens has released many limited-edition designs with musicians and artists, as well as designer collaborations. The brand recently linked up with streetwear giant Supreme on color-changing shoes and Rick Owens for tall boots with even taller tongues and big soles.
