Dr. Martens is ready for combat over its iconic boots, which were jacked by Steve Madden … according to a new lawsuit.

Martens’ parent company says the proof of the rip-off is right there in the footprint of 4 Madden boot designs — the McBeth, Macen, JPlayy and JFunn. In docs, the good Doc says Madden’s soles, undersoles and heel loops are way too similar to theirs … and cause marketplace confusion. 

Martens wants Madden to quit selling the knockoffs, and hand over millions of dollars in damages.
