The ol' reliable boot shop has said goodbye.
(SPOT.ph) Looks like 2022 isn't saying goodbye without, well, another goodbye. Popular footwear store Dr. Martens has announced that they're bidding adieu to the Philippines in a social media post on Friday, December 23. The brand stated that all their physical stores in the country will cease operations on December 31. The posts on their Instagram and Facebook pages were deleted later the same day. SPOT.ph has reached out and is awaiting a reply.

It was only in February that they closed down their flagship, and biggest, store on our shores over at Two Parkade BGC. Now we'll have to ready our hearts for a more permanent goodbye.
The heavy-duty combat boots can be traced all the way back to 1950's Germany and 1960 U.K. Nowadays, copping a pair or two of the boots is something of a milestone for Pinoys. So it looks like you best hurry on over to their stores before you miss out.
UPDATED (December 23, 2022): This article was updated after Dr. Martens Philippines deleted their Facebook and Instagram posts on their closure.
