About us

Our now-iconic footwear started when the first air-cushioned sole technology was designed by two German inventors: medical doctor, Dr. Klaus Maertens and engineer Herbert Funck. But while our sole technology may be German, our soul is undeniably British. British shoe-makers, R Griggs and Co, bought the rights to that air-cushioned sole technology. R Griggs & Co anglicised the name to “Dr. Martens”, designed an outsole and boot for British workers and the 1460 boot was born. Dr. Martens footwear was designed to look new with its modern air-cushion comfort so R Griggs & Co added the iconic yellow stitch, the grooves, the two tone side sole and the black and yellow heel loop. These new boots were sold to workmen. But fate intervened. Dr. Martens may have been made for industry but, as it turns out, they were destined for the stage. Subverted early on by subcultures, they paved the way for a new kind of rebellious self-expression. From the punks of 70s London to the grungers of 90s Seattle, Dr. Martens boots have always stood with those who dare to be different. Subcultures may fade out and evolve but our alternative spirit is a constant. And as for what the future holds? We have offices in London, Northampton, Paris, Düsseldorf, Portland, across Asia and an ever-expanding global retail portfolio. We have the respect of big-name fashion giants – think Supreme and Yohji Yamamoto – enabling us to engage in exciting partnerships season after season. We want to mean something to everyone who laces up our boots: from the first-timers to the Docs boots veterans. Do you have what it takes to help us? We need ambitious, passionate, people – with rebel fire in their hearts.

    The Dr. Martens Foundation are proud to have supported The BRIT School in bringing their Global Majority Show to the stage this year. Established in 2020, this annual event gives BRIT students a dedicated space to celebrate the resilience and achievements of African, Asian, Indigenous and Latin American communities. Drawing on this year's theme of Geography and the support of their mentors, students came together to create 11 unique pieces of physical theatre, dance, music, theatre, spoken word and poetry. Each performance brought to life gripping stories, bold statements, the undeniable talent of these rising stars - and roars of applause! We set up the Dr. Martens Foundation as an independent charity in 2021 to end social injustice - a mission rooted in everything the Doc's community stands for. The Foundation and The BRIT School are working together to break down barriers that block young people from accessing creative industries and using art to make a stand. This is just one of the initiatives driving this forward. Congratulations to the BRIT students and team for creating such a powerful showcase. #lifeatdrmartens #drmartens #drmartensfoundation
