Dr. Martens

A British cult icon? Dr. Martens. Boots to shoes to sandals, the DM range is now bigger than ever.

Munich, 1945. Dr. Klaues Maertens made an innovative air-cushioned sole to help mend his broken foot. Showing the prototype to Dr. Herbert Funk, the two teamed up and started producing Docs by 1947.

In 1959, R. Griggs Group got an exclusive license for the boot and made a few tweaks.

‘Airwair’ soles were born, the ‘With Bouncing Soles’ slogan created and the legendary yellow welt stitching added. Unmistakeable DNA.

Icons & New energy: 1460, Chelsea & Zebzag

Classics to fresh takes, the Dr. Martens collection keeps levelling up.

For a true original, look no further than the 1460 Boot. Eight eyelets, a grooved sole and branded heel pull make them the ultimate canvas for self-expression. From postmen and factory workers to rocks stars, these boots have seen it all.

Rugged. Sleek. Versatile. The Chelsea Boot was born in Victorian times but got adopted by Dr. Martens in the ‘70s. Another one of DM’s hall-of-famers, this understated boot is easy to slip on and off.

Now for one of the new faces. The Zebzag Rigger is the industrial evolution of Doc Martens. Tapping into utility style, this slip-on boot fuses a super-lightweight EVA midsole to the classic PVC for all-day comfort.

Beyond the Boot: Sandals and Mules

Think Doc Martens are just for the winter months? Think again.

Dr. Martens sandals have you covered when temps heat up. The Blaire Sandal has chunky straps and a SoftWair memory foam footbed for summer-long comfort. The ripple EVA sole adds that signature DM attitude.

Not about sandals? Mules are the ones for you. From the Jorge to the Zebzag Mule, get that soft yet durable AirWair cushioning in a slip-on fit. By the pool, out in town, wherever. Simple silhouettes are finished with bold Dr. Martens branding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Dr. Martens fit?

Doc Martens generally fit true to size (just note that they don’t do half sizes). Stay true to your size for boots but we recommend sizing down for sandals as they run big.

Are Dr. Martens waterproof?

Standard smooth leather is water-resistant, not waterproof. For full protection, look for specific ‘waterproof’ models or treat your pair with a protector spray.
