After an extensive search of
the WWW for infomation on
Dr Martens boots (also known
as Docs , DM's) and having marginal
success I have decided to compile
a list of sites and
references pertaining to Doc
Martens boots and shoes.
If you have other links and info
please email me:

The most frequently asked question
is where to get Docs
resoled. The ANSWER IS SIMPLY THIS-
Dr. Martens can not be resoled because
they are made with
a GoodYear Welted construction- Using
HEAT to fuse the sole and boot
together. And that is the bottom line
on that.
The Official Dr.
Martens site
The Official Site for AirWair - Dr. Martens
If you haven't visited in a while the best place to
start your voyage.
A great design and LOADED with information on the boots,
culture and the latest.
There are a number of excellent commercial sites on
the web which sell
Dr. Martens shoes through the mail.
A really nice location for information on the History,
and Sole type, which
originates in the United Kingdom is supplied by
ShoeWorld.
Its a good place to start your
search for info on the famous Docs.
Have you ever stood in a crowd and look at people shoes?
Watch a couple of
hundred go by and look for the distinctive stitching.
Here in the US the Docs are not
very popular. Maybe elsewhere in the world there are
folks that own a number of pairs.
If you know exactly what you want in you latest pair-
look no further than
Doc
Net.
They have pictures of most of the shoe and some are
really different than the
ones you will see in Florsheim!
New information --
John Mackley from the UK writes
in --
Were the first pair of Doc
Martens made from tyres?
I don't know the answer, If you
do please send a note to John

Tracy wrote in to let me know
about her E-Bay site - There are a lot of shoes here - Take a
look and see for yourself. She is a rated E-Bay vendor and if
you have the interest to bid for your next pair - This is the
place to go.
I sell Docs on ebay and I
have at least 50 different pairs up each week. This week I have
upwards of
75 different pairs available. Here's the link to see all of my
listings:

think.

A new LOCATION on the net
for Doc Martens & some other interesting brands
http://www.instepdrmartens.com
http://www.instepshoestore.com
Along with Dr. Martens they also have Tredair, Monkey
Boots, Gripfast and T.U.K
Take a look, as these are very radical designs and
if you have a couple pair of Dr. Martens - you may want to investigate
these other brands.
Note - the outlet store
in Woodbury Commons off the NY turnpike is closed.
