Dr. Martens Mens Tevin Slip-On Shoe

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONSlip onNeed a heavy-duty loafer thatll endure tremendous activity This shoe is just what the doctor ordered--Dr. Martens that is. It has all of the attributes youve grown to expect from the brand: a bouncy rubber sole, a quality leather upper. However, this one is less like a combat boot and more like a great business-casual shoe. Its dual-goring and topstitching is perfect for slipping on and going to work and beyond.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 doctors immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959 the two founders 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 1/4/60. 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.See more PRODUCT DETAILS Package Dimensions :12 x 8 x 4 inches 1.3 Pounds Item model number :Tevin Department :Mens Date First Available :September 2, 2008 Manufacturer :Dr. Martens ASIN :B0018IY96Y Our Best Sellers Rank: 91,635 in Clothing, Shoes Jewelry See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes Jewelry 335 inMens Loafers Slip-Ons 23043 inMens Shops Customer Reviews:4.6 out of 5 stars761 ratings PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONSlip onNeed a heavy-duty loafer thatll endure tremendous activity This shoe is just what the doctor ordered--Dr. Martens that is.
