With their trademark thick soles and iconic yellow stitching, Dr Martens boots need no introduction. A street fashion staple popularised by UK punk rockers, these boots are more than a shoe, they're a cultural phenomenon.
Dr Martens was founded by Klaus Märtens in 1947. Klaus served as an army doctor in WWII and sustained a serious foot injury in 1945. He found that standard issue army boots exacerbated the pain from this injury and he decided to create something more comfortable. When the war ended, Klaus created a pair of comfortable boots with air cushioned soles; the first pair of Dr Martens. Initially popular among factory workers and police officers, Dr Martens boots gained a cult following in rock musicians, punks and other youth subculture members. In recent years Dr Martens have expanded their range to include many variations of boots, sandals and other accessories. Now firmly planted as a favourite among the fashion set, more than 7 million pairs of Dr Martens shoes are sold globally each year.
Brand House Direct carries dozens of Dr Martens styles guaranteed to wow you. From the classic 1460 boot to summery sandals and fashion forward platforms, we have a pair to complement every wardrobe.

Dr Martens FAQ
How long does it take to break in Dr Martens?
While a well-fitting pair of Dr Martens will quite possibly be the most comfortable and durable shoes you own, there's no denying that the breaking in process can take some time. It takes an average of 3-6 weeks to properly break in Dr Martens boots or shoes. You can make the breaking in process as painless as possible by:
Wearing thick socks
Using a shoe stretcher
Applying boot stretch spray
Should you size up or down with Dr Martens?
In our opinion, Dr Martens footwear runs true to size. You should be able to select your normal shoe size for most Dr Martens boots and shoes. There are a few exceptions to this rule which are the iconic 1460 boot, the Chelseas and the Jadons variations. These 3 models run large in our opinion and you should size one full size down if you're purchasing a pair. It's important to note that Dr Martens do offer half sizes for those in between sizes.
Are Dr Martens waterproof?
Dr Martens boots in original factory condition are not waterproof. These shoes are made from leather which is naturally porous and not waterproof by nature. If you'd like your boots to provide better water protection, consider using specialised shoe care products such as waterproofing spray or wax to achieve better water resistance.
Are Dr Martens unisex?
Dr Martens are for everyone. All Dr Martens styles are intended to be worn by men or women and have been intentionally created with a unisex style. If you like them, wear them! As the footwear brand is intended to be unisex, make sure you check which gender the sizing information is aligned to in order to ensure you get the right fit.
Do Dr Martens have a manufacturers warranty?

I chose this style of slippers to wear around the house. I can wear them all year long. They are soft with the memory foam and the covering is so gentle on sore swollen feet. Just what my old feet need.
Review by Mee-Mee L. on 18 Mar 2025review stating Purchase of 3 pairs of sandals
I have always worn Merrell footwear US size 6 & the equivalent was Eutopean size 36. The 2 pairs of Merrell I purchased were US size 6 & they are longer than usual, but the width of the sandals were correct. I then noted on the boxes it had European size 37. Is this why my sandals are longer? Since when did the sizing changed? The ...Read MoreRead more about I have always worn Merrell footwear US
Comfortflex sandals (size6/ size 37), however, were a good fit. I've included photos of the new sandals & couple of old shoe boxes to show the sizes written on them. Now I'm not sure of ordering online as I don’t like the extra length in my shoes. Read LessRead less about I have always worn Merrell footwear US

Review by Robyn S. on 17 Dec 2024review stating Sketcher joggers
I was quite disappointed when I received my joggers. The photo looked like a musty pink & I liked that colour, but what I received is purple…. . which is not my favourite colour. They fit very well though & are comfortable.

Those shoes are very comfortable and very useful for walking. I couldn't find other styles in my size and a friend of mine suggested me to try the T bar strap shoes.
