Product Description

Product Description

It's the soft and comfortable leather that makes these Unisex Lace to Toe Hikers from Dr. Martens the most popular hiking shoe. Or perhaps it's the patented Flexlink technology, which pampers your feet, whether they're hiking on the trail or up a city street. To create the "grizzly" effect, the leather is tumbled for softness as well as for an overall rugged and full-grain appearance. You may not want to take them off, long after you've come back indoors.

Benefits of Flexlink Technology
As the foot flexes, the Flexlink technology in the forefoot filler softens the compression. An Ortholite insole with open cell foam increases breathability and aids in shock absorption. A leather-hinged footbed flexes in tandem with the Flexlink forefoot to enhance flexibility and comfort. Finally, a unique compression chamber cushion system absorbs footfall shock from heel to forefoot.

About Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. 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 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.

I brought Dr. Marten's boots for style and comfort. I am very satisfied with my product although I do wish the boot had came in half sizes. My boots are a half of a size two big. But I love them nevertheless. They give really great support for my feet. Also, to girls out there, when you wear these boots with jeans they look really good and no manly at all. =)

I have always worn classic Doc boots, this time decided to get more stylish. I was not dissappointed. These have a wonderful thick sole and very soft leather. They are very comfortable and no break in time was needed.

My wife wanted a pair of Doc M boots for her birthday. She went to the Doc M website, found the boots she wanted, but they were out of stock. So I took over, went to Amazon and found exactly what she wanted. Placed the order with standard delivery, her boots arrived less than 72 hours later.
They were exactly what she wanted.
