Also known as Doc's and Dr. Martens very well known for having a yellow stitching that bonds the bubbery air cushion sole. This footwear was developed by Dr. Klaus Märtens of Germany. The first Dr. Martens boots in the United Kingdom came out on 1 April, 1960 (hence known as style 1460 and still in production today) with an eight-eyelet, cherry-red, Nappa leather design. Doc's where first worn by working class people, then later adopted by the skinheads and punk rockers in the late 1960's. Goths, new wavers, and hardcore punks wore them in the 80's then they where adopted by the grungers and skankers in the 90's.
