Dr. Martens is a footwear label for men and women. It is famous around the world for its original and aggressive leather ankle boots with rubber sole. The brand was created in 1960 by a British company, known at the beginning of '900 for the production of sturdy shoes for workers and soldiers. It bought the patent for the amortized sole boots, invented by the German doctor Klaus Maertens, which inspired the name of the brand. During the '60s it had a great success among British young people of the UK fashion market. From the punk-rock soul, with its yellow stitchings and back flap, Dr. Marteens became in the '70s, the shoe symbol of London underground and many rebel subcultures.
