Product Description
From the Manufacturer It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

I bought these because they were the only docs I could find that were dressy enough to wear to work. These shoes killed my feet for a long time, but then after a year or so of occasional wearing, something magical happened and they became my favorite shoes ever. I wore them with everything and they were sooo comfortable. I finally wore them out a few years after that and came to amazon. I'm amazed they still have them so I'm going to have to get another pair! They are just a bit dressier than most docs, and I would actually wear them with everything from jeans to a skirt. I liked how I could wear them with jeans and a t shirt and the shoes would actually dress everything up a bit. Also, I actually wore them as slip-ons and never tied or untied them. Very convenient.
