Shoemaker and Shoe Repairer

S hoemaker and Shoe Repairer;

The shoemaker is the smallest business that works with manual labor.


A Turkish proverb is; "Friends look at the head, the enemy looks at the foot." This is the most important indication of the first impression your shoe gives to the environment.
Ismail Ozaslan (called Ismail Usta), who left 40 years behind in shoemaking, has been making and repairing shoes in his small workshop for 20 years.
He is a shoemaker who has worked at almost every stage of his career, starting out by cleaning the mud of the shoes brought to the shoemaker's shop, which he entered as a apprentice 40 years ago.


Now, instead of retiring, he continues to make custom-designed shoes at his small workshop and repair damaged shoes.
Small Businesses often do hand based jobs.


Most of the time, the payment of their labor is not fully met. These types of professions are gradually disappearing and can not be transferred to new generations due to factory production.

Let's support small businesses.

 An now, Look at the shoemaker's workshop
