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 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.
