      Dr. Martens is a globally famous and culturally influential British brand with over 60 years of heritage. Our first boot was sold on the 1st April 1960 hence its name the “1460” and it went on to become an iconic, instantly recognisable product with a timeless appeal which is still relevant to consumers all across the world today. We collaborate with culture and fashion icons, musicians and artists, to produce Dr. Martens boots, shoes and sandals that embody a spirit of rebellious self-expression - the spirit of a DM’s wearer and of our own people.Dr. Martens is a globally famous and culturally influential British brand with over 60 years of heritage.
