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 founders 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. Review: Schnell und zuverlaessig und wurde nochmal benutzen. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Merci ### ⭐⭐ Review *by A***. on March 14, 2017* I have previously owned a few pairs of dr martens boots and have always found them to be excellent quality. I cant say the same for the pair i purchased here. The leather is thinner and the sole wears down far too quickly. Although these were purchased a year ago i would still expect the sole to be in fairly decent condition but as it is, the treads have worn away to almost nothing in places. Next time i shall spend extra money purchasing a pair that is made in England rather than the poor quality boots from overseas. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/28643954-unisex-1490-smooth-leather-mid-calf-boots-black-smooth-5](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/28643954-unisex-1490-smooth-leather-mid-calf-boots-black-smooth-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
