Dr Martens (13)

The real name of the inventor of the comfortable air cushion sole is Dr. Klaus Märtens, who was looking for a way to cushion his broken foot after a skiing accident in 1945. Together with Dr. Herbert Funk, he developed an extremely comfortable shoe that enjoyed great popularity in the years that followed, especially among retirees - quite different from today's image.
