Doc Martens, also known as Dr. Martens or Docs, has a long and rich history – first designed in Germany, the brand moved to the UK in the early 1960s and quickly the chunky leather boots began to be worn by several subcultural groups.

Goths, skinheads, and punks first made Dr Martens popular in the 1970s, but the brand quickly grew and now Dr. Martens is one of the top brands for stylish and durable leather boots. Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, and Gigi Hadid have all been spotted in Dr. Marten boots, shoes, and sandals, which is why you really need a pair of Docs in your wardrobe!
