Currently under the Dr. Martens also produces summer sandals, clothing and accessories. The creator of the legendary shoes, the German Martins, was a doctor. He invented boots with lightweight spring soles in 1945, when there was a need for new lightweight and practical shoes for the military. Martins sewed the first pair himself and made the sole from a flexible piece of rubber. In the boots that were part of the uniform at that time, the hard, heavy soles did not bend. In 1947, Martins, together with his friend Herbert Funk, launched the production of new comfortable shoes. Then and now, Dr. shoe tops. Martens are made of leather with a waterproof treatment, the boots have rounded toes, and the welts of the shoes are stitched with durable thread. The first model was released on April 1, 1960 and was called the 1460. Now the cherry boots with three-row lacing are considered an iconic model. Comfortable, lightweight and at the same time “indestructible” shoes, the For Life model, for example, has a lifetime guarantee, quickly became popular. First among workers, then among young people and fashionistas. Collaborative models and collections with Dr. Martins were produced by couturier Raf Simmons, the Hello, Kitty brand and many others. Currently, shoes from the collections of Dr. Martens are worn all over the world by people who prefer reliable and comfortable shoes. This brand produces men's, women's and children's shoe collections. Women's models most often repeat men's ones, but have a bolder design. The children's collection has special models for girls and boys with bright cartoon prints.
