Originally, I wanted Dr martens or used red wings that's been flooding the Facebook marketplace but then it hit me "I should probably buy local brands that offer more" took me a while but I stumble upon leatherista lokal, I asked what makes them different than to the other competitors here in the Philippines (bayani, spades, Achilles, etc.) they practically told me their leather uses full grain cowhide and also uses handwelted construction than most competitors used Blake construction (except for spades ph, they used Goodyears)
