From the Manufacturer
It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. Using old rubber tires, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two founders decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

If you work in a real environment that requires the DR.MArtin boot as a work boot please rethink your purchase. DR.Martin is flying solely on the name Dr. Martin. They are now made in china and Dr. Martin does not stand by their product. My husband is a welder/fitter at a power plant, the average work boot lasts him at least 6 months. Even a pair of Wal-Mart boots would last him longer than these! Having experience with DR. Martin I tried to urge my husband not to buy them. I had martin boots with padding before, within 2 months it ripped and worn thin. No surprise to me when the sole started coming apart at the bottom of the padding and the stitching ripped loose. Sure they were comfortable but they were very poorly made to be labeled as a work boot. No boot over 100.00 should fall apart 20 days after purchase.

As a point of disclosure - I did not purchase my Docs through Amazon.
I purchased these boots about 3 years ago when they were fairly new to the US DM line-up. My impressions:
As some have mentioned they are no longer sporting the MADE IN ENGLAND verbiage on the soles. That is a slight bummer for me. The fit was perfect for me; sort of close to the familiar bouncy sole of days gone by; pretty flexible for a SC (Steel Cap) boot (these are ASTM rated); great color of brown that goes with a variety of work and casual wear (I wear mine with jeans more often than not).
Over the years the boots have weathered a bunch of wear and a little abuse and happily nothing negative to report: no sole separation, no premature wear, the SC is not popping out of the leather, etc.
Please look for my 'Before' and 'After' cleaning pictures at the top of this page.

Doc Martens now come from China?!? What happened to the company pride of manufacturing in England? They definitely compromised quality for a cheaper make. The insoles no longer provide comfort and support. The leather is less supple. Also the sizes are a bit different, so obviously they have different tooling (China-made probably). What a disappointment!
