Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens ranks 3rd on the list of the best British shoe brands with revenue. Beginning at the turn of the 20th century, Wallston, Northampton's little town, was where Dr. Martens first made simple workwear boots. Because of its enduring quality and classic shapes, the brand is now well-known throughout the world. Dr. Martens’ appeal to people who have their own individual style but share a united spirit – authentic characters who stand for something. People who possess a proud sense of self-expression. People who are different.

Initially developed with a hard leather sole, one of the brand's distinguishing qualities is owed to a German soldier named Dr. Klaus Maertens, who invented the brand's revolutionary air-cushioned sole to help his injured foot. Dr. Martens, on the other hand, has remained a distinctly British name throughout its history, and the brand honors this legacy with its Made in England range. Every shoe in this line is handcrafted in Northamptonshire with a traditional Goodyear welt.
