As a hub of the shoe industry in China, Wenzhou has a high reputation for its leather shoemaking. 

On the evening of August 20, Chen Fang, an inheritor of Wenzhou traditional hand-sewing shoe craftsmanship, presented his astonishing skill at the "Meeting Wuma" Live Streaming Studio. 

During the live-streaming show, Chen Fang used a piece of handmade leather and some simple tools to sew out a pair of mini leather shoes on the spot in only 10 minutes, and gave them to the South African host Brett as a small gift.

"It's the first time I have ever seen the entire shoemaking process — from leather to shaped shoes. Wenzhou is truly the shoe capital of China," said the foreign anchor Brett, he also exclaimed that "It's amazing!"

As introduced, Wenzhou sewn leather shoes are comparable to those precious artifacts due to the complex and cumbersome making process. Each pair of shoes is sewn with more than a hundred stitches from inner to outer. The middle layer of each shoe is filled with granulated cork particles. The comfort level is much higher than ordinary shoes.

Every week, there will be various cultural events in the “Meeting Wuma" Live streaming Studio. If you are interested to join us, please call 4008678110 for registration.
