Head to this street that's full of shoes as a unique sightseeing activity in Seoul!
There are approximately 500 different businesses related to the art of shoe-making. 217 places sell finished products, 110 distribute raw materials and 102 places act as the "middle men." It's clear why Seongsu is known as the mecca of hand-made shoes!
If you want to purchase hand-made shoes, they're centrally located around exit 3 and 4 of Seongsu Station. You can buy completed hand-made shoes, accessories for shoes or only the heel portion of shoes.
Orders can be roughly written down on a piece of paper or delivered verbally to the craftsman. You'll be able to own a pair of comfortable shoes that are customized just for you!
Make sure you also check out the shoe market held outside Exit 1 every first and third Saturday!
