Dr. Martens Pearson II Multi Strap Sandal

A broken foot is no joke, let alone in a war. Dr. Klaus Maertens was also convinced of that. Today, he is known as his later established brand, as Dr. Martens. It was Klaus's unpleasant experience, to which we owe the Martens we all know and love today. When his design for safe yet comfortable footwear was noticed by the shoe company Griggs’s footwear from the very heart of England, everything took a turn in the right direction. Today, Dr. Martens is a symbol of quality, endurance and safety, but also comfort, because the leather adapts perfectly to any foot after only a few steps.

Dr. Martens as a cult

Since 1947, when Dr. Martens were officially established under the newly formed brand, this leather shoe has become a cult. A number of subcultures have adopted these shoes, especially those connected with hard rock music. The high rubber sole, their height and also the chained toe of the shoe became iconic. It was this detail providing greater toe reinforcement that proved instrumental for Dr. Martens in many places around the world. In England, the country of its origin, Dr. Martens began to function as a weapon in street fights. Because of this, they were banned from several stadiums and pubs.
