Doc Martens

It seems incredible to think how the humble roots of Dr. Martens are, but as a company that began distributing boots that seemed to appeal only to the working class, Dr. Martens shoes are now worn by people of all backgrounds and beliefs and are reckoned to be one of the most reliable, trustworthy types of footwear production. They have not even changed the way they make them for the last half-century.

Dr. Martens has just celebrated its 50th anniversary and it seems that society is going from strength to strength, even today. At first it was a bit slow, even if only for a while. Starting in the garage of a house in Munich, Germany, design inspired by the famous Dr Martens sole shoe made its way to England, where the creators of inspired, high quality shoes eagerly made to combine the two create a shoe visionary. The German physician - Dr. Maertens - and the family of England Griggs took a risk to create a shoe that is not only durable, practical and hardwearing, but it was the ultimate in comfort and designed so that we never go out of fashion. And he never has.

Once the boot began to circulate among the working class thanks to its practical applications, which it did by the thousands, it was not long before people started noticing. In the '60s, skinheads adopted starting in their sub-culture of fashion and from there he moved on to represent the punk movement in the 70s. After that it became a staple of many cultures and peoples of the decades: Mods, Ska, Goth, hardcore, nu-metal straight-edge, Britpop - the list is long and, although the UK music scene Social continues to deform and change as the years pass, one thing always seems to remain the same - everyone is wearing Dr. Martens.

Dr. Martens himself could have foreseen the embrace nationally who flew towards his shoes. All those who feel they have to make a statement, to express an individuality, a uniqueness to be seen picked up a pair of Dr. Martens and half the work has been done for them. Now, with women and men shoes available in over 250 different styles, Dr. Martens is always the perfect way to express yourself, even 50 years later. Thank you to the original style and functionality of boots, it seems as if they will be used for many years to come.
