To make walking easier while it healed, he, together with his engineer friend Dr. Funck, set about designing a shoe with an air cushioned sole. What they came up with was in fact the first Dr. Martens shoe. Not only did the shoe solve the good Doctors' immediate problem but it started to sell well in Germany and as a result the two decided they needed a company to produce and distribute the shoes in other parts of the world. They chose a company located in the English village of Wollaston with a long history of craftsmanship in the production of working and army boots. The rest, as they say, is history.
