About Dr. MartensDr. Martens wasn't always a symbol of counterculture - in fact, their unique heritage is what helped propel them to global recognition. In the quest for a breathable shoe that would aid the recovery of a broken foot, a young doctor worked with a university pal to produce functional, military-quality footwear designed for comfort. In 1960, after two decades in business, their innovative air-cushioned sole caught the eye of the Griggs family. An English manufacturer of durable work boots since the turn of the century, the Griggs team knew something special when they saw it, and a partnership was born. Together, the teams developed the first silhouette, adding in iconic details - the bulbous toe, grooved sole, and yellow welt stitching - that have made each pair of "Docs" an enduring symbol of comfort and cool.Leather upperLeather, textile insoleRubber sole, heelContrast welt stitchingStaggered hiker hooksTie closureImportedDimensionsHeel Height: 1.25"Shaft Height: 5"New without box.
