Celebrate Dr. Martens' birthday with free stuff

There aren’t many shoes worthy of an anniversary celebration, but when the first pair of Dr. Martens rolled off the production line on April 1 1960, not only was a new kind of utility boot created, but an entirely fresh attitude – expressed simply by what was on your feet.

So, April 1 is Dr. Martens Day, and to mark this, their London stores will be giving you a present. From April 1 to April 8, if you purchase a pair of Originals shoes or boots you’ll be handed a copy of their brand book ‘Dr. Martens: A History of Rebellious Self-Expression’ (worth £10).

The Original Icons range is still at the heart of the collection but don't forget to check out the new spring/summer looks at their London stores: the 386 Oxford Street flagship, branches at Carnaby Street, 17-19 Neal Street in Covent Garden, Spitalfields, or the shop at Westfield Stratford.

We haven’t baked Dr. Martens a cake, but to celebrate in our own way, we’ve teamed up with them to offer you the chance to win tickets for Festival No. 6 PLUS £200 to spend in any Dr. Martens store. Check out this amazing competition right now.
