Dr Martens boots, shoes and sandals are also known as Doc Martens, Docs or DM's. The footwear is distinct because of its air-cushioned sole (dubbed Bouncing Soles), developed by Dr. Klaus Maertens of Germany. The first Dr Martens boot in the UK came out on 1st April 1960; with an eight eyelet, cherry red, Nappa leather design.

 Dr Martens owes a debt to millions of people who have championed their footwear during the near five decades since the 1460 first rolled off the production line. To say thank you, FreeDM has been created to give opportunities to today's emerging talent. To be creative you have to have something to rebel against. Living fast, downing cheap beer and smashing windows is not rebellion. The best form of rebellion is individualism. Thinking for yourself.

Therefore they have created FREEDM to give you the public the creative reigns to design a limited edition classic 1460 Dr Martens boot. There will be two DM 1460 design winners. One voted for by the people and the other by a panel of industry insiders.

This is your chance to show your talent. Click on the Dr Martens FREEDM link http://www.freedm2.com and start creating your DM 1460 boot.
