About this book

On 1 April 1960 the first Dr. Martens boot rolled off the production line at the Griggs family farm of shoemakers in Northamptonshire England. Today Dr. Martens is a brand famous the world over as iconic as Ray Bans and Levis. From the launch of the classic cherry-red eight-holer on that day in 1960 to the more recent multihued twenty-holers Docs have been in the vanguard of style and culture for over four decadessubversive strident authority-baiting. Now for the first time the boots and their times take center stage in a book. Decade by decade in words and pictures Dr. Martens: The Story of an Icon recounts the fascinating story of the music the people and the places that breathed life into the boot on its journey from work-wear to in-wear.
