Dr. Martens began in 1945 when German physician Klaus Martens successfully developed an air-cushioned sole for rehabilitation after his own accident. Since then, the brand has improved in all aspects of durability and comfort, gaining immense popularity among the working class in the 1960s. It gradually became incorporated into youth culture and became so closely associated with music culture that it was worn by major artists. This connection between workers and music naturally led to it being treated as an element of street culture, with mod and punk fashion being examples of this. Dr. Martens continues to grow as a brand closely associated with street fashion.
