Dr Martens is a brand that needs little introduction. Born in the 1960's, Dr Martens boots were initially worn by postmen and factory workers, against a backdrop of change, new ideas, cultural upheaval and eventually social revolution. After being picked up by early multicultural, ska-loving skinheads who proudly championed British working class style, DM's made their way into sub-culture and the rest, as they say, is history.
