DR MARTENS An updated version of the vastly popular Mel Mary Jane shoe from Dr Martens. Leather upper which has stitching detail around the shoe with an adjustable bar strap across the foot. Topped off with a chunky air cushioned sole Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began in the town of Seeshaupt, Germany (near Munich) in 1945, when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To facilitate walking during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air cushioned sole. By using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to an inventor friend and the rest as they say is history!
