Martin boots, a kind of leather boots, were originally invented by doctors to recover the injured parts of patients. Because they are easy to wear, they have become workers' boots. After young people put on their feet, combined with the chaotic 1970s, they have become a symbol of streets and punks.
Martin boots are divided into short boots, medium boots and long boots. Generally, medium boots are more common.
The technology of Martin boots can be divided into two types in China:
The first is the mechanized manufacturing process; The second is handmade craft;
False thread: those mechanized manufacturing processes in the market stick a round strip of false thread on the vamp. The disadvantage of false thread is that it is quite unstable and will crack soon after wearing.
True thread: the real Martin boots are made by hand. The side seam of Martin boots is sewn on the upper of the shoes, which is divided into three layers. The upper and the middle leather interlayer of the shoes fit with the sole. The upper of the shoes is sewed on the leather interlayer by hand, and then fits with the sole. Only in this way can the hand craft be strong.
