Product Description
The Slate collection has rugged styling, using quality leather uppers combined with a durable, yet lightweight, sole. This is a Goodyear-welted product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions. A waxy leather with an attractive two-tone color surface. Greenland is a naturally milled leather, there will therefore be a certain variance in grain texture, which must be considered part of the look.

From the Manufacturer
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.

I ordered these boots a month ago and have worn them every single day since. It only took me about 2 days before they felt pretty broken in too! Great fit, great find, great look and always another great product from doc martens

Dr. Martens boots were always rugged and tough, and they last a long time. These boots are no different. They're comfortable to wear and they don't look so fancy as with other brand names. I love the two tone worn out look. These boots showed up at my door within days of ordering from Amazon. Their fast shipping and customer service is always up to par. I'd rather order from Amazon than some other dealer on this site, even if it means I have to pay more. I highly recommend these boots for men who are not into following a certain trend and they just want to look casual. 5 stars for the boots and 5 stars for Amazon.com for their wonderful service.

The boots came in exceedingly fast. Perfect fit. Look great with boot cut jeans. Haven't had a pair of Dr. Martin's in a long time, but happy I found this style.
