1460 Oxblood Quilon Made in England

This is where it all began…

The Dr Martens ‘Made in England’ range is created at the Cobbs Lane Factory in Wollaston, England; which has been producing footwear since 1901. It is the home of the original Dr Martens boot and within these factory walls works a specialised team of cutters, clickers and welters schooled in traditional shoe making methods and the unique process that makes Dr Martens like no other shoe on earth.

Here, in amongst the smell of freshly cut leather and the noisy backdrop of carefully preserved machinery, the unmistakable shape of Dr Martens boot begins to form: traveling the length of the factory floor beginning with a small pile of tanned leather hides, the process takes the boot through various highly skilled stages of evolution until its final arrival in the box.
