Dr Martens Boots-the History
Dr. Martens 1460 Women's Patent Leather Boots, Baby Pink
Almost from the moment the British shoe manufacturer R. Griggs Group has launched the Dr Martens 1460 model starting in April Fools Day 1960, footwear
was popular with the British postal workers, police officers and factory workers. The 1460 was eight carnation, cherry red, Napa leather.
In less than a decade, Dr. Martens 1460 (so named for the date of their introduction in the convention in day / month / year) boots became popular with the British working subclass of skinheads. Over the years, the skinhead culture has become more violent and racist, and Dr. Martens boots partnered with football hooligans.
In the early seventies, some young soccer fans began to paint the colors of their team boots, but boots painted white were more popular. It is also common for football hooligans to remove the leather of the toes of their boots with steel toe caps to expose more of intimidation.
United Kingdom, police determined that boots toecaps exposed steel were “offensive weapon” and prevented the football matches. With football hooligans to continue to use their Dr. Martens pulp fans opposing teams, police developed a new tactic insisted that any person wearing Dr. Martens remove the laces of boots, boots reasoning can waste less damage. This initiative was welcomed by fans of smuggling laces in the alternative, sometimes enlisting their laces hooligan friends to sneak into stadiums.
The problem with football hooligans using their Dr. Martens for fans of opposing teams kick became so bad that the fans have sometimes been forced to remove their shoes for the duration of the games. Boots could not be recovered until the opposition fans left the stadium, how fans barefoot dash to retrieve their boots or, hopefully, a new pair belonging to another.
Dr. Martens Boots has also been associated with British nationalism, which is ironic in that Dr. Klaus Maertens (The first “e” is dropped to Anglicize the name of the boot.) Himself was a doctor in the German army during the Second World War, and shoes that bear his name were produced in post-war Germany. Dr. Maertens “business partner was Dr. Herbert Funck. The group of R. Griggs wisely decided not to use the name of Dr. Funck on boots for obvious reasons.
Dr. Martens has also been associated with music-originating in the United States one of the most important examples of this band was the grunge Nirvana, which helped popularize smart blue uniform shirts and flannel lumberjack boots Dr. Martens.
In the early nineties, Dr. Martens had become very popular with young women, even some brides wear white patent leather shoes with their marriages. Accordingly, a marriage of Mr. Martens has been introduced in gold with white lace.
Dr. Klaus Martens, when he created a pair of boots with air-filled soles to relieve pain in its feet, certainly no idea that a multitude of sub-cultures that adopt and customize as part of their uniform. There is no doubt that he had never imagined that thousands of young women who wear boots that bears his name to their marriage.
