The Mecca of hand-made shoes, a representative of Sungsu-dong shoes street, Seoul Sungsu Sujewha Town (SSST). This is the hand-sewn shoes town. Shoes manufactured in Sungsu-dong are 100% made by hand.

This is a view of Sungsu custom shoes town in which high-end hand-made shoes sold in department stores can be bought at an affordable price. As most manufacturers located here supply shoes to luxury brands sold at department stores under OEM supply agreement, their shoes boast of the equally high quality and yet lower price tag.

When you wear hand-sewn shoes, you would definitely feel that they provide far more comfort than ready-made shoes. Even if you come to this street, you can’t actually find that many hand-sewn shoe shops. That is because factories are concentrated, and cobblers have joined forces to establish shops. A case in example is Seoul Sungsu Sujewha Town. You can buy reasonably priced hand-made shoes of fine quality constructed by craftsmen who have been engaged in shoe making for over 30 years.

We expect that this type of shop is likely to bloom in Korea. Even online sites will expand, and Sungsu Town will be one of them.
