The History of Dr. Martens: From Innovation to Subculture

This is the history of Dr. Martens. From innovative air-cushioned sole to countercultural icon.
Dr. Martens was created by the Griggs family in Northamptonshire in the English midlands: a fusion of German innovation with English industrialism. It was a boot for workers. Initially worn by postmen and policemen for its comfort and durability. The utilitarian silhouette was soon adopted by musicians and subcultures: worn by skinheads and punks as countercultural uniform. Over the decades of movements and tribes, one thing has remained the same: the Dr. Martens boot.

Thank you for watching. For over six decades, Dr. Martens footwear has been adopted and subverted by musicians, subcultures and bold individuals. These people stand out from the crowd - and a pair of DM’s boots or shoes has always accompanied their journey of self-expression.

In the early 90s I was an angsty 24 year old who got tired of trying to look the way society expected women to look so I shaved my head and wore Docs with girly little dresses. I got fired when I walked into work without hair. My family thought I was a closet lesbian coming out. My boyfriend didn't dump me though. He said I was badass and we got married. Good times 😀

The Dr. Martens were developed by the German doctor Klaus Märtens, to whom they owe their name. Klaus Märtens, who had served as a doctor in the Wehrmacht, constructed the first prototypes in 1945, a few weeks after the end of the Second World War. He wanted to develop sturdy shoes with a less hard shoe sole than the conventional safety boots that he had to wear as a worker. Märtens and his fellow student Herbert Funck, who was born in Luxembourg and was not affected by the trade restrictions in post-war Germany, entered into a partnership and began in 1947 in Seeshaupt near Munich to manufacture soles with rubber from the disused German Air Force. The other components of the first shoes also consisted of army remains. The shoulder pieces (epaulettes) of the uniform jackets, the leather of the trousers of the officers' uniforms, served as inserts. According to the inventor, the time was perfect to manufacture comfortable safety boots after the war. The shoes became popular very quickly, so Märtens and Funck opened a factory in Munich in 1952. During the 1950s, they sold 200 different styles of shoes. In 1959, the team first advertised the idea in international magazines..An advertisement in Shoe & Leather News, a UK catalog for shoes and leather clothing, caught the attention of Bill Griggs, managing director of shoe manufacturer R. Griggs & Co. The UK shoe market was fierce, with Tuf boots as the market leaders, and how many others looked to Griggs for an innovative new product. Griggs acquired a production license from Märtens and Funck to manufacture safety boots. However, lacking the technology and tools to make and attach the soles, Griggs worked with Northamptonshire Productive Society Ltd. (NPS) a shoe that consisted of a Solovair sole and Griggs' upper material. [1] He changed the design of the shoes to a more conservative style as he wanted to produce and market the shoes as durable work boots. There was also the domed leather cap on the toes and a yellow sewing thread, which is still the trademark of Dr. Martens is. On April 1, 1960, the Dr. Martens as a boot with eight holes for the laces in production.😉

Back in 1980 I got a pair of black Dr Marten boots for school. Times were tuff back then so ur shoes had to do u not just for school but also for every other time. Most kids oni had 1 pair of shoes as unemployment was so high. My parents bought me them because they were built to last & not only did they last the full school year but usually got 18 months outta them ( which was pretty good as id only 1 pair of boots n walked everywhere as we had no car ). I still wear DM boots today.!!!!

The last comment about the boots being uncomfortable until they're "broken in" is a huge misconception. If any footwear feels painful or severely uncomfortable to wear it isn't fitted properly. Improperly fitted footwear can lead to all sorts of problems. Especially when you consider ultimately everything is connected to your spine, including your feet. That was my only gripe, everything else was interesting and informative. I honestly wasn't aware of the full history of Dr. Martens.
