WI: Doc Martens Has His Accident In 1940

What would have happened if he had invented his famous boot in the early years of the war rather than at the arse end? How would stomping round Europe in comfier footwear have affected the operational capabilities of the Wehrmacht and the SS? Most importantly... What effect, if any, would it have had on Operation Barbarossa?
 
The Wehrmacht soldiers and the SS would still die by thousands in the siege of Leningrad and the Battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, but they would do it with their feet in better state.
