Met the shoe man this year Cemal and the repairs he did to my shoes was fantastic for only 20 TL. I had a pair of mules that needed to be re-heeled and soled and the local repairers here did not think they could do and if they could it would cost a min of £20. Cemal hand cut new soles and heels,glued and nailed the soles and heels, polished the leather and oiled the wood. He is a proper master craftsman. If you have any shoes that need repairing he is definitely worth a visit.
Cemal is now based in the underground market opposite the NOA
Hotel and is about the 4th stall in on the right channel of the market.
