Women’s Leonore Chelsea Boot – Dr. Martens 2976
- The 2976 leonore by Dr. Martens is an easy-on, easy-off pull-on boot with an elastic ankle gusset — that sports an extra-rugged air-cushioned sole plus faux fur lining for the winter season.
- 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.
