Nellie is what happens when you cross your favorite rainboot with a classic Dr. Marten style. The coated fabric shaft features a floral print, while the patent leather panels bring more shine and durability.

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.

Customer Reviews

Great Boots
These boots are the exact kind of quality and classic styling one expects from Doc Martens. The print on the canvas on one of my boots is offset by about 2mm, but no one would really notice that. It's also important to note that, as the shaft is covered canvas, these boots are NOT COMPLETELY WATERPROOF. Otherwise, a cute and well-made pair of boots to snazz up rainy days :)

Funky boots but not rain shoes
These boots are super fun but, unfortunately, not waterproof as you might expect. If that's not your main requirement then go for it. They fit just as well as Doc Martens shoes do (same size, etc.) so if you have a pair you know what size to order.

Perfect seasonal boots
As with all Dr Marten's they are very good quality. Unlike the lace up ones though they are very difficult to get into if you have a high arch. There is NO give, you just have to work it. Once they're on though they are VERY comfortable. I would wear them in the rain w/o fear of sliding (we have lots of brick walks here) and even in light snow. Nice to have an option that isn't brightly colored rubber.
