Dr Martens Clearance

Dr Martens shoes have remained popular for a number of decades and have become a relevant and vital piece of footwear for a number of different cultures and movements. These different sub cultures saw Dr Martens as a way to identify who they were and to recognise those that were similar to them but how did this come to be?
A young German army doctor called Klaus Maertens created the initial design after he injured his ankle skiing. Dr Klaus Maertens had been skiing whilst on leave from fighting in World War II. He found that the boots and shoes he had made his feet hurt even more so he decided to fix this problem by creating his own shoe. He created a boot that had an air cushioned sole that provided comfort as well as absorbing some of the impact from walking and running. The boot also provided support for the ankle, which reduced the amount of body weight applied to the ankle. Martens didn’t possess a lot luck selling their shoes until he met up with an old university friend, Dr. Herbert Funck, in Munich in 1947. Funck was intrigued by the new shoe design, and the two went into business that year in Seeshaupt, Germany, using discarded rubber from Luftwaffe airfields. The comfortable and durable soles were a big hit with housewives, with 80% of sales in the first decade going to women over the age of 40. The British Dr Martens shoes were obviously named after their creator and as they entered the UK market they were marketed as having bouncing soles, filled with air and were given the AirWair tag they are now famous for. Dr Martens boots instantly became a hit with Skinheads and the UK Ska music scene and this later spread to Punk, New Wave and Grunge music, which helped to grow the footwear brand at home and abroad.
Dr. Martens sponsored Rushden & Diamonds F.C. from 1998 to 2003. When a new main stand was built at Nene Park in 2001, the stand was named the ‘Airwair Stand’ in recognition of the sponsorship link. In the 2000s, Dr. Martens were sold exclusively under the AirWair name, and came in dozens of different styles, including conventional black shoes, sandals and steel-toed boots.Dr Martens??
Is there still a Dr Martens store in Neal Street, Covent Garden in London. I heard it had been shut down, is that true?
I was going there this weekend to buy my first pair of Dr Martens, im 17, and was just wondering if they are comfy and what you wear your DMs with?
Thanks.
