Dr. Martens Women's Pascal Boot

Category : Shoes

Product Description :

Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. 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 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. 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.

The Buttery-soft leather is sure to make the DR. MARTEN? PASCAL 8-Eye boot your new favorite !

These are super cool boots, a nice addition to my Dr Marten collection. Squeaky and stiff at first but that is to be expected from patent leather when new. Great fit, nicely made even though they are made in Thailand, 100% better than a white pair I bought which were made in Vietnam. Highly recommend these beauties. . !

I did want to love these boots, but was not 100% in love. Well, I"ll have to find a way to fall in love now - because when I went to return these, the mailing cost through USPS was $23 - and would have been $16 thru UPS, but Sneakers4U says "we only offer returns to our P.O. Box".... so either be 100% sure your fit will be fine, and color, and..... etc. - or be prepared to pay thru the nose for returns, or buy through an online store, like ShoeBuy, that offers free shipping BOT WAYS!!!. E Caveat Emptor!
