Factory work boots and a cushioned sole developed by a medical doctor recuperating from a broken foot seem like an incredibly unlikely starting point for footwear that would become a staple of cutting-edge youth culture.

But why would a shoe synonymous with individualistic style have a story about doing things the usual way? After widespread adoption by subcultures in 1960s England unlocked the fashion potential of their humble work boots, the genie was well and truly out of the bottle and the genre-hopping style of Dr. Martens was born.

The classic Dr. Martens boot, the unmistakable look of the 1460 is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Doc Martens, and has been worn by everyone to scene lifers to greatest hits album wielding dilettantes adding some alternative edge to their everyday style.
