From humble beginnings ....... |
Dr Martens footwear is indeed the stuff of legends. It's a story that began in germany in 1945 when a certain Dr Klaus Maertens had a skiing accident injuring his foot.
To make walking easier whilst it healed, he, together with his engineer friend Dr.Funck, set about designing a shoe with an air cushioned sole. What they came up with was in fact the first Dr Maertens shoe. Not only did the shoe solve the good doctors' immediate problem , but it started this remarkable success story. They needed a company to produce the shoes in other parts of the world, they chose R.Griggs Group, who had a long history making army boots and based in Wollaston, England. On the 1st of April 1960, the first Dr Marten boot rolled off the production line. Taking its name from that date, the eight hole cherry red 1460 had arrived. |
