DR. MARTENS says it has championed safety and worker welfare since 1960, when the first pair of 1460 boots rolled off the production line at its original Cobbs Lane factory in Northamptonshire. The company says drawing on over half a century of shoe-making expertise, and in celebration of its 57th birthday, it has unveiled a modern update to the original Icon 7B10 work boot –the brand new HYTEN S1P, designed for men and women who want to look good and work hard and able to provide all day comfort and protection; the boots are constructed with soft milled leather uppers and engineered with an internal steel toe cap.
