8-Eye shoelace 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. 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.

Very nice
I bought these to go with my new Docs which got the ol’ Military shine. These laces added that extra look to the Boot.

They are what they are!
Doc Marten shoelaces. What can you say. They are exactly as advertised. Fit my Doc Martens perfectly.

Exactly what you'd expect
Exactly what you'd expect since they're more or less the same as the laces that come with Dr. Martens boots out of the box.

Fluffy edges.
I liked the idea of colour coordinating the welt stitching with the laces on my Ben DM boots. These laces are okay and have lasted a fair while but they began to fray more quickly than I had expected and accordingly have not given the sharp lines I had hoped for.

As expected
Shoe laces that fit :)

Good but make sure you get the right length
Customer comments advise 140cm for 8 pairs of holes. I have boots with 8 pairs and I find these could be a fair bit shorter. But they're good laces.

Boot laces
Genuine Dr Martins laces as promised. They are however boot laces not shoelaces as advertised so were unfortunately too long for my daughters Dr Martin shoes
