He improved on the boots he had with soft leather and air-padded soles made of tyres. Martens showed the boots to an old university friend, Herbert Funck. Together they got the production running making the boot soles from discarded rubber supplies from military airfields.
Seeing their sales grow, in 1952 the two partners opened a factory in Munich. In 1959 they started advertising their boots in overseas magazines. One of those ads caught the eye of the third-generation CEO of an established British shoe manufacturer run by the Griggs family. Griggs bought patent rights to manufacture the shoes in the UK under the name ‘Dr. Martens’.
The British manufacturer slightly altered the boot heel for a better fit, added the distinctive yellow welt stitching and trademarked the “bouncing soles” as Airwair. That’s how the eight-eyelet 1460 Dr. Martens boot came to be. The name of the boot style came from the date of its inception, April 1st, 1960.
An iconic and beloved boot style with a decades-long history, the classic 1460 Dr. Martens boot started off as a workwear boot, later adopted by British subcultures to eventually conquer the whole world.
