Benefits of Flexlink Technology
As the foot flexes, the Flexlink technology in the forefoot filler softens the compression. An Ortholite insole with open cell foam increases breathability and aids in shock absorption. A leather-hinged footbed flexes in tandem with the Flexlink forefoot to enhance flexibility and comfort. Finally, a unique compression chamber cushion system absorbs footfall shock from heel to forefoot.
About Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens is the stuff of legends. It all began near Munich, Germany in 1945 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, he constructed soles that had air trapped within closed compartments. He showed his prototype to his engineer/inventor friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, and together 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. At first, 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 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.

Customer Review: Uncomfortable
I owned a pair of Doc Martens for 10 years and when they gave out I ordered this pair. Unlike my last pair, these were extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't wear them without pain, so I returned them.
Customer Review: Subtle differences
In the pictures there are several versions of this shoe that all look alike, THEY'RE NOT! These shoes are the "orriginal" version. They do not have the leather insoles, rather they are removable and fabric. They have the less agressive soles with long transverse groves ( the more common sole for this shoe is more of a traditional knobby pattern and is a little bit better for mud) They also have a slightly higher back than the later version sold in stores everywhere in the 90's. The higher back is a bit uncomfortable at first as it can dig into the back of your ankle. The toe is also a bit bigger than the common version. The shoes are of excellent quality, just not exactly what I thought I was buying.
