Dr. Martens Women's Triumph 1914 Boot

Dr. Martens Women's Triumph 1914 Boot

I am a Dr. Martens fan, and I have been wearing their products for about 15 years. I have worn their shoes, their classic mid-calf boots, and their sandals. A few things about this product:

1) For those of you who already own a pair of DM, the sizing of this boot is consistent with DM sizes. I usually wear 8.5/9.0, and my DM sizing is 6 UK/8 US. I bought a size 6 UK for these boots and they fit me perfectly.

2) DM boots are usually stiff at first, and will cause me to have a few blisters/sore heels until I've worn the pair for awhile. I did not have to go through this with these boots. The lining inside is a soft cotton-type material (almost like flannel), unlike the other boots that are simply lined with leather. This makes the boots extra comfy, extra soft, and it feels like they've been worn many times before... I will say that the brown and black/noir boots are stiffer than the simple black ones. I tried them in the store and I could feel a significant difference in the calf area.

3) Like another reviewer, I too have thicker calves and this concerned me at first, but the boots fit me just fine and are still comfortable.

4) I hesitated a loooooong time before choosing a color. I thought I would choose the brown, and then decided on the black. Some people commented that they look 'greyish'... they are not jet black like typical DM black boots, they are more like a very, very dark charcoal. I find it adds to the charm of the boots since it makes them look like they've aged gracefully with time.

5) Although I'm not on my feet all day long, I am a fan of DM because of how comfortable their shoes are and these boots are just that - very comfortable.

If you have been wanting a cool pair of DM boots but found the other styles too severe or grunge, this is the boot for you. They are feminine, comfortable, and unique! 

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

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 founders decided that they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes, then called Dr. Maertens, in other parts of the world. At first, many manufacturers rejected the concept of an air cushioned sole as a short-lived gimmick. However, the R. Griggs Group, located in the village of Wollaston in England, decided to go along with the idea by creating the first work boot with the revolutionary sole. On the first of April 1960, the first cherry red eight-eyelet work boot was produced and named 1460 (1/4/60). To sell the brand name better in England, the name was anglicized to Dr. Martens. The range was branded AirWair and the rest is history.
