Docs, Dr. Martens, Doc Martens. Call them what you like. The story of the creation of this cultural icon is one of individuality, perseverance and ingenuity. While skiing in the Bavarian Alps, Dr. Klaus Maertens was badly injured. Proving that necessity truly is the mother of invention, the good doctor created a shoe with an air-filled sole to ease his walking and speed up the healing process. Years later, after many failed attempts at trying to market the shoe, Dr. Martens Air Wair footwear was introduced to the world. The rest, as they say, is history. Embraced by nearly every social youth movement since 1960, Dr. Martens boots and shoes have always been the footwear of choice for those outside of ordinary with their own independent attitude. Look for Doc Marten's trademark yellow "Z" stitching and exclusive blown rubber sole. Enjoy our selection of Dr. Martens footwear.
