The Success and Downfall of Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens sponsored West Ham United from 1998 to 2003. When a new main stand was built at Upton Park in 2001, the stand was named the 'Dr. Martens Stand' in recognition of the sponsorship link. In the 2000s, Dr. Martens were sold exclusively under the AirWair name, as well as came in dozens of different styles, together with conventional black shoes like Adidas junior telstar ii and Adidas telstar ii junior , sandals and steel-toed boots. On April 1, 2003, under pressure from declining sales, the Dr. Martens company ceased all production in the United Kingdom, with production moved to China and Thailand.

This change in the manufacturing and production of this famous brand also brought several changes to the quality of a pair of Doc Martens. The company's vegan-friendly non-leather products started which were produced since January, 2000. This caused a lower type of quality and standard for the brand which in return cost them to lose some loyal followers and fans. In 2007, the company began producing footwear again in England, in the Cobbs Lane Factory in Wollaston. These products, which are called the "Vintage" line which the company advertises as being made to the original specs, can be purchased at the Dr. Martens USA website or the Dr. Martens UK website.
