Dr Martens

Quite possibly the most influential combat boot on Earth (in the category of models not actually used in combat, anyway) Dr Martens brand had a winding road to the forefront of pop culture. The cushy-soled boot started to help Klaus Märtens recover from a foot injury, became the most popular brand for German housewives over 40, and became an icon of punk, grunge, and Cool Britannia. According to the publicly traded company's 2023 earning reports, the brand now makes over one billion dollars annually.
