"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."
"But one thing the brand hasn't released until just last week? Rain boots. And if, like me, you live in a place where it rains often, you need a good pair of waterproof boots that both look good and do their job. When we heard Dr. Martens was releasing rain boots for the first time, we knew we needed to get our hands on a couple pairs. The result? A comfortable, good-looking, and totally waterproof take on the 1460. It's a perfect boot."
Dr. Martens originated as a modest 1960s workwear boot that became a symbol of rebellion and self-expression after Pete Townshend popularized them. The brand was embraced by British youth subcultures including punks, goths, and grunge, and later gained mainstream appeal. The new 1460 Rain Boots are a waterproof, calf-length version of the classic 1460 with a comfortable bouncing sole, SoftWair footbed, and malleable rubber body that reduces break-in pain. They come in four colors, are easy to slip on, but run large with no half sizes available.
