About Dr. Martens
Dr. Martens is an iconic British footwear brand founded in Northamptonshire,
England. Its first silhouette, the 1460 boot - named after the date it was
produced - rolled off the production line on 1st April 1960. Originally chosen
by workers for their air-cushioned comfort and durability, "Docs" or "DM's"
were later adopted by musicians and subcultural pioneers who took them from
the street to the global stage.
Over six decades later, Dr. Martens operates in more than 60 countries and
employs around 3,600 people. The company continues to honour the brand's
heritage through its 'Made in England' footwear, manufactured at its original
Northamptonshire factory, while meeting global demand from multiple
high-quality production sites across Asia. All our products are made with an
unwavering commitment to craft, combined with innovative techniques.
A brand built to put a bounce in the step of those who stand out from the
crowd, Dr. Martens is available through Direct-to-Consumer (Retail and
Ecommerce) and Wholesale channels. The brand's collections range from its
Original silhouettes - The Icons such as the 1460 boot, 1461 shoe, 2976
Chelsea boot, and Adrian loafer - to modern franchises like the Zebzag, Buzz,
and Lowell. The lineup also includes an extensive range of sandals, a
dedicated Kids collection, and a curated selection of bags, small leather
goods, and accessories.
Every Dr. Martens product reflects craftsmanship, heritage, timeless style,
comfort, and versatility. Having transcended generations, the brand stays as
relevant today as it was at its inception. Its signature yellow welt
stitching, grooved sole edges, and scripted "With Bouncing Soles" heel loops
remain iconic symbols recognised around the world.
Dr. Martens plc (DOCS.L) is listed on the main market of the London Stock
Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.
