Once again a winter has passed in which thousands of young people with Dr.

Martens trudged through the snow or across the asphalt.

We all know it, the cult shoe with the thick sole and the yellow stitching.

And new generations keep coming who wear these classic work shoes, which were invented after the Second World War by the German doctor Dr.

Klaus Märtens because all other shoes were so uncomfortable.

Easter is just around the corner, the trees are in bloom and it will soon be warmer.

So time to put the Docs in the closet.

However, if you feel melancholy, you can breathe a sigh of relief, because the classic is also available as a sandal.

The unisex model with buckles looks a bit like the other German health shoe, the Birkenstock, only of course much cooler.

After all, the Doc, which has been produced in England since the 1960s, also stands for British subculture.
