Healthy Footwear – Dr Martens

People realise that if they want to keep their feet healthy they need to be careful about what shoes or boots they wear. Because people are on their feet less, shoe designers have not made designing footwear that keeps your feet healthy a priority.

Those few shoes, which are designed to be good for your feet, are usually very clunky and geeky looking. However, all of Dr Marten’s shoes are designed to take care of your feet and are fashionable. Dr Martens makes sandals, shoes and boots for women, men and children of all ages and in many different styles, so most people can find a pair of Dr Martens to suit their tastes.

All of Dr Marten’s footwear range allows your feet to breath because they are made from leather or breathable materials. Stopping your feet getting sweaty is essential if you want healthy feet. If your feet sweat, they become damp and you can suffer from fungal infections and hard skin.

Dr Martens also makes sure that your feet will stay dry in the rain; they weld and stitch their soles together to make sure they are 100% watertight and all of the uppers on their shoes or boots are either waterproof or water resistant. Most Dr Martens have air-cushioned soles, which protects your foot and its bones as you walk and gives good support to your ankle. Dr Klaus Marten originally invented his boots for himself; he suffered from an ankle injury and could not find boots that gave his ankle enough support. His original design is still made by Dr Martens and all of their boots are specifically designed to give good support to the foot and ankle.

In the workplace, Dr Martens can also protect you feet from injury if you wear their industrial range. This range has the option of having steel toecaps and steel protection for the arch of your foot fitted and the soles are heat and pierce resistant as well as being anti-slip.
