These are Doc Marten brand leather shoes that were originally created by the Griggs family in the small town of Northamptonshire in the English Midlands and were named after a German soilder named Dr Klaus Martens, Griggs acquired the license in the late 1950s, which resulted in a collaboration between Griggs and Marten creating the Dr Martens 1460.
Why do I like them and what do they mean to me?
I like how smart, fashionable and practical they are and one of my favourite shoe brands.
