Dr. Martens 101

Dr. Klaus Maertens broke his leg during World War II and was unhappy with the military boots that caused him pain. So he invented a new type of shoe with a soft tire sole that absorbed shock. His idea met with success and in 1947 he teamed up with the British footwear company Griggs's to create the Dr. Martens brand. Since then, Dr. Martens shoes have become a symbol of courage, independence and originality. They have been worn by musicians, artists, rebels and workers. Dr. Martens shoes are known for their quality, comfort and durability. They have a distinctive design with eight holes, yellow stitching and an air sole. At Queens you will find classic Dr. Martens models like the 1460, 1461 or 2976, but also new trends and colours. Choose your Dr. Martens and express your style!
