Combat Boots - Women's Collection

Amphibians: a story of style, resistance and rebellion

Combat boots have become an icon of alternative fashion, but their history goes much deeper than you might think.

Originally conceived as military footwear, combat boots have evolved over time to become a symbol of rebellion and counterculture, thanks in part to the popularity of Dr. Martens models.

The origins of amphibians

Combat Boot have a long history, dating back to ancient Greece, where hoplites (heavy soldiers) wore sturdy footwear to fight in battle.

Over the centuries, military footwear has been adapted to the needs of different armies, but it is only in the 20th century that amphibians became a fashion item.

The Dr. Martens model

In 1945, Dr. Klaus Märtens, a German doctor, invented Dr. Martens boots to solve the problem of soldiers' injured feet.

The air sole, which made the shoes more comfortable, and the lace-up design, made famous by tennis shoes, quickly became a hit with British soldiers.

In the 1960s, Dr. Martens boots were adopted by the skinhead subculture, but also by punks, grungers and other rebel groups.

Today, Dr. Martens combat boots are a must-have for those who want to show off an alternative and bold style.

The symbolism of amphibians

Amphibians have become a symbol of rebellion and opposition to society for many generations.

In the 1960s, mods and rockers wore combat boots as a sign of belonging to their group.

In the 1970s, punks adopted them as part of their style, and Dr. Martens boots became an icon of the punk subculture.

Today, amphibians represent strength, endurance and individuality, and are loved by many people looking to stand out from the mainstream.
