#dr-martens

What was originally a modest workwear boot conceptualized in the 1960s quickly became a symbol of rebellion and self expression when The Who's Pete Townshend started sporting them everywhere. In the decades since, Dr. Martens (call them Doc Martens or Docs, if you'd like) were adopted by pretty much every alternative youth culture in Britain (like punks, goths, and later grunge in the '90s). Now, you can see them pretty much everywhere, on edgy eighth-graders and professional adults alike.
