The cat is out of the bag! Fans of the iconic shoe brand Dr. Martens are celebrating its official comeback in the Philippine market.

Manila Bulletin Lifestyle visited its store at Robinsons Place Manila to see what it has in store for everyone. It houses more than 30 shoe designs in different leather materials such as suede, napa, and smooth leather. To help you decide which one to get, we've listed our top picks from the displays we checked at the store.

Vintage 1460 Quilon Leather Ankle Boots
It's no secret that Dr. Martens originated in England. As its popularity grew, most of its production moved to factories in Asian countries. According to a report from Business Insider, the brand sells more than seven million pairs of shoes annually, and only one percent of them are made in England.

So whether you're new to the Dr. Martens wave or have been a fan for ages but don't have anything from your collection made in its country of origin, this is the sign. Dr. Martens at Robinsons Place Manila houses the Vintage 1460 Quilon Leather Ankle Boots. Quilon is considered rare leather and is known as the brand's original specification leather. This classic piece is designed to get better with age.

This mule is detailed with adjustable gold hardware and marked with the brand’s signature grooving and contrast welt stitching. This design is available in two colors—parchment beige and dark brown.

Black 1461 Flower Appliqué Oxfords
Paying homage to its decades-long history with botanical designs, the 1461 Flower Appliqué Oxfords is a three-eye shoe adorned with 3D appliqué flowers and matched with tonal hardware and laces. Made with smooth leather, this can be polished to shine or left scuffed up for a more rugged look.

This latest edition from the Creepers line is made from black and white leather with contrasting vamp details. The Ramsey Smooth Leather Creepers also feature a three-eye D-ring lacing system for a secure fit. It is available in two colors—black and white.
