A Little History about ....
Dr.Martens
The Griggs family, the creators of the
fashionably famous Dr.Marten boots, were
known for their individual, unique creativity.
The first air-cushioned sole was created by
a creative invetor who went by the name of
Dr.Maertens, after he came across an
extreme foot injury during a skiing trip.
Griggs became to discover this amazing
air-sole idea, and contracted Dr.Maertens,
they both then joined partnership, bought
forward a new name for a new invention of
boots, and began a revolutionary trend. The
first pair of Dr.Marten, air-cushioned sole
boots rolled off the production line in the
late 1960’s, and were bought forward as a
revolutionary ‘working mens’ boot. The boots
were pushed into the high-street, and were
soon latched onto by working men, but also
by generated subcultres such as the
‘skinheads’ whom were set out to mimick the
dress sense of the ‘working man’.
