Dr Martens Boots Singapore
Mention Dr. Martens and what comes to mind is a pair of comfortable and edgy alternative to sneakers and heels. The brand’s trademark boots are distinguished by their air-cushioned sole (dubbed “bouncing soles”) and yellow stitching. The British footwear brand has stayed true to its trademark thick-soled boots since 1960 when it was first established, but it took years before that for it to be launched into the market. The idea for comfortable boots first came about when Klaus Martens, a doctor in the German army during World War II, injured his ankle. He found that his standard-issue army boots were too uncomfortable on his injured foot. While recuperating, he designed improvements to the boots by using soft leather and air-padded soles made of tyres. When the war ended, Martens took leather from a cobbler's shop and made himself a pair of boots with air-cushioned soles.
The design was first picked up by policemen and factory workers, but skinheads in the 70s and New Wave musicians and scooter riders hopped onto the Dr Martens trend in the 80s. The brand soon became synonymous with youth subcultures, particularly in the 90s, when the grunge trend was all the rage. Since then, the brand has been growing exponentially – it is the eighth fastest-growing British company in 2012. To keep itself fresh and up to date, it has made constant seasonal updates to its classic style, with floral prints and trend-setting shades, making itself known as an icon of self-expression and individuality.
