Blaire is Dr Martens latest spin on the gladiator: an airy Dr. Martens sandal with a slight wedge for height, a padded collar for comfort, a lightweight ripple sole and — unlike most sandals — a sturdy, durable Goodyear welt.
Dr Martens Story
Martens story begins in 1945. Dr. Klaus Maertens, a twenty-five-year-old soldier, had returned to Munich after the second World War nursing a broken foot. Finding the generic leather-soled footwear too harsh during his recovery, Maertens made an air-cushioned sole that would provide more cushioning and traction.
