About us

Our now-iconic footwear started when the first air-cushioned sole technology was designed by two German inventors: medical doctor, Dr. Klaus Maertens and engineer Herbert Funck. But while our sole technology may be German, our soul is undeniably British. British shoe-makers, R Griggs and Co, bought the rights to that air-cushioned sole technology. R Griggs & Co anglicised the name to “Dr. Martens”, designed an outsole and boot for British workers and the 1460 boot was born. Dr. Martens footwear was designed to look new with its modern air-cushion comfort so R Griggs & Co added the iconic yellow stitch, the grooves, the two tone side sole and the black and yellow heel loop. These new boots were sold to workmen. But fate intervened. Dr. Martens may have been made for industry but, as it turns out, they were destined for the stage. Subverted early on by subcultures, they paved the way for a new kind of rebellious self-expression. From the punks of 70s London to the grungers of 90s Seattle, Dr. Martens boots have always stood with those who dare to be different. Subcultures may fade out and evolve but our alternative spirit is a constant. And as for what the future holds? We have offices in London, Northampton, Paris, Düsseldorf, Portland, across Asia and an ever-expanding global retail portfolio. We have the respect of big-name fashion giants – think Supreme and Yohji Yamamoto – enabling us to engage in exciting partnerships season after season. We want to mean something to everyone who laces up our boots: from the first-timers to the Docs boots veterans. Do you have what it takes to help us? We need ambitious, passionate, people – with rebel fire in their hearts.

  • 🎄 IT'S THE MOST BUSIEST SEASON OF ALL 🎄 🌟 A massive round of applause for our remarkable retail store teams who have been working tirelessly during this peak season to deliver an outstanding experience to our customers!

Together, they booked 109 shifts, totalling an impressive 436 working hours across 39 different stores in Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. 👏 Even our Chief Brand Officer, Ije, rolled up his sleeves and worked alongside our retail heroes at our Neal Street store in London.   Thank you to our retail teams, our DCs and digital teams, and everyone who works so hard to deliver a great experience for our wearers, putting a bounce in their step and a smile on their face. You are the true stars of the season!   ⭐ #retailheroes #peakseason

    Another week, another collab! A really special project between us and Awake NY - a love letter to cumbia music, community, and the next generation of Latinx music enthusiasts in New York. Shot in the heart of Bushwick at Mi Sabor Cafe, starring Hellotones and a group of New Yorkers who are a part of the movement - a full immersion in the resurgence of cumbia happening in NYC right now. It was so much fun to not just work on this with Awake, but also learn so much along the way. Massive shout out to everyone who made this happen (and as always big love to the team Ciaran Sanchez-O'Neill, Louis Flashman, Mira Jessani, David H. & Andy Brown) - feeling so excited to finally share it with the world.

    Dr. Martens x MM6. So unbelievably gassed to be sharing our most recent collab creative. A shoe within a shoe - a physical collision of iconic products and iconic brands, inspired by archival MM6 collages. It’s not often you get to work on a project that demands a full day of hands-on mixed-media creation – ripping, scanning, taping, and crafting. The process was just as exciting as the final assets, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we have created. Endless appreciation to everyone in DMs who brought this collab to life, from design to marketing, and a special shoutout to the AMP dream team - Ciaran Sanchez-O'Neill, Louis Flashman, Kiran Kaur Manak, Mira Jessani, David H. & Andy Brown.

We were honored with: - Annual Report of the Year – FTSE 250 - Best Board Disclosure The shortlist and winners were decided by a panel of experienced governance professionals from the Institute, the FRC, and several FTSE companies.

    Dr. Martens x MM6 Maison Margiela Revealed in Milan earlier this year, and finally hitting the shelves this week, the project celebrates our icons but revisits our distinctive design DNA through the lens of the legendary fashion house (specifically, the brilliant mind of Heikki Salonen). The result is a real triumph, and represents months of hard work. Another smash hit from an incredible team, from product all the way through to creative and everything in between.

  • To us at Dr. Martens, Halloween is much more than just a holiday; it’s a chance to embrace creativity, express ourselves, and make a statement the DMs way! Last week, we took the Halloween spirit global with an array of ghoulish goings-on across our regions in the UK, Europe, Americas, and APAC 👻 From a spine-tingling scavenger hunt to pumpkin painting and spooky snacks, we had it all. Not forgetting some frightful fancy dress seen across our locations, from offices to factories, distribution centres, and retail. Moments like this are where our #RebelliousSelfExpression really comes alive, and with a culture rooted in creativity and connection, what better time to combine the two with a sprinkle of spookiness than Halloween? 🎃   Here's to spooky traditions and many more moments that matter at Dr. Martens! How did your team celebrate? #Halloween #LifeAtDMs #DrMartens

  • This October, we proudly celebrated Black History Month across our EMEA region, honouring the rich heritage and contributions of the Black community. Our celebration featured a bumper selection of activities, including inspiring stories from artists, designers, archive directors, and retail managers. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this month memorable! Darren Leon Mckoy hosted a panel with creatives, Foday Dumbuya (Founder and Creative Director of Labrum London) and TRAICELINE PRATT an emerging designer whose 1460 Boot design won the Dr. Martens x Central Saint Martins, University of The Arts London competition. They shared what led them to pursue a career in fashion and the influences on their design and work. We were honoured to have the Black Cultural Archives, a DM Foundation Partner, visit Camden. The amazing The Flygerians Nigerian street food- Corporate caterers provided lunch while Lisa Anderson shared BCA’s incredible work and archival treasures. If you haven’t yet, make sure to visit BCA in Brixton! Three of our incredible retail store managers, Camille Stewart; Gary JEREMIE and Joyce Mukasa joined our Chief Brand Officer Ije Nwokorie, to discuss their career journeys and experiences at DMs. Leading the way in retail, they shared their learnings and best practice on inclusive leadership. To wrap up the celebrations we had a party at our Camden offices, opening with spoken word artist and two-time Glasto performer, Mstr Samuel. PTPLays kept our wellbeing in check with sessions on rebellious self-expression and authenticity. DJing the night was Damali Tyson aka CHAos w/Dams, and huge thanks to All Roads for bringing their signature African American soul food and Simon Santhanam and the team from ArtPlay London for bringing this collaborative experience to us. Check out the mural we created with the artists and Art Play – a fantastic memory for our BHM 24 celebrations! 🖤💛
