Dr. Martens Women's 8065 Jane-w Mary Jane Flat

The 8065 shoe turned the tradition of impractical women's footwear on its head in the 80s, as a classic T-bar fastening meets a rugged AirWair sole. Hardwearing and famously tough, the Smooth leather can be polished to shine or scuffed-up, the choice is yours. The Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed at 700°C and reinforced with the signature welt stitch, a testament to the quality craftsmanship of Dr. Martens.

The history of Dr. Martens dates back to 1945 near Munich, Germany, when Dr. Klaus Maertens injured his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier during the healing process, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole, using old rubber tires to construct soles with trapped air within closed compartments. Collaborating with his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, they decided to develop and produce the shoes. Not only did the shoe solve the doctor's immediate problem, but it also started to sell well in Germany. By 1959, the two decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world.

Initially, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air-cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460. To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens, and the range was branded AirWair, solidifying its place in history.

This classic footwear is made with 100% Leather and can be easily machine washed. Imported from China, the shoes feature a Synthetic sole material, providing both durability and comfort. The timeless design and legendary reputation of Dr. Martens have cemented its status as the stuff of legends, a testament to the brand's enduring appeal and quality craftsmanship.
