Dr. Martens: Rebellious Footwear

With a history ingrained in the youth subculture, Dr. Martens shoes have become synonymous with rebellion and a desire to stand out. For decades Dr. Martens has maintained widespread popularity among young people wanting to transcend the boundaries of fashion.

The Styles

The classic Dr. Martens shoes are identifiable through their air-cushioned soles and yellow stitching, available in three-eye regular shoes, eight-eye and ten-eye boots, as well as knee-length fourteen-eye boots.

Youth Subculture

It was a select few youth subcultures that helped to make the brand what it is today.

  • Skinheads: Pioneered the original look of Dr. Martens boots with skinny jeans, braces, and fitted short-sleeve shirts
  • Punks: Evolved the skinhead style by keeping the skinny jeans and boots
  • Grunge: Combined Dr. Martens shoes with more relaxed outfits that were perhaps most similar to the festival style

Did You Know?

Dr. Martens are viewed as iconic British shoes, but they were best known as working men's boots in Britain until Pete Townshend from The Who wore them on stage in 1966, launching them into the fashion world.
