A stalwart of British tradition, Dr. Martens was launched in 1906 with an exclusive license to a combat style with an altered silhouette, hallmark yellow welt stitching and distinct Airwair soles that are signature to the legacy label. Once a modest work shoe with a reputation for durability, Dr. Martens is steeped in cultural and political history, synonymous with working class pride, expressions of rebellion, social revolution and individuality while holding status as a fashion classic.
