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. 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. See more
