Get a kick out of life

There’s the first time for everything and for many people the day they acquired their first pair of Dr Martens remains a memorable moment. 

For five decades, Dr Martens boots and oxford shoes have remained at the top of the footwear charts, charming wearers of several generations with their simplicity, durability and modernity. Designed by German inventor Klaus Maertens, the genuine leather footwear comes with air-cushioned sole to provide additional support and comfort for foot.

Popular with postmen, policemen and workers when they were first launched, the boots were later adopted and customised as a tribal emblem by successive subcultures of punks to mods. 

Now, the shoemaker has launched its “first and forever” spring and summer collection and the shoes, sandals and boots are selling like hot cakes.

More than 100 designs are available for both men and women in everything from leather and suede to woven textiles. Fans will love the limited edition floral print X Liberty boots, made of quality printed leather from France and the MIE collection featuring traditional-style oxford shoes made at the Cobbs Lane factory. 

For the colour conscious, the brand offers Sara and Danielle high-heels made from leopard-printed leather from Italy, smart 1460 leather boots in purple, blue and yellow and colourful 1461 oxford shoes. 

Dr Martens Airwair has a flagship store at Mega Bangna and products are also available at Siam Paragon, Zen and Central Department Store.
