Advance Footwears

Karol Bagh is always a big mess of people and traffic, especially in Channa Market where we are. Our shop is located at 14 A / 5. It is a bit cramped inside because we have boxes of shoes stacked almost up to the ceiling in every corner. You can always smell the strong scent of glue and leather the moment you walk through the door. We have been in this location for a long time now. The floor is a bit uneven in the back room where we keep most of the extra stock. My father was the one who started this business and now I spend most of my time here managing things. We have a small wooden bench for people to sit on if they need to try something on, but mostly we are just moving boxes around. The traffic outside is very loud, but you eventually get used to the noise. Sometimes the rain leaks a little bit near the front window when the wind is blowing, so we have to keep a plastic bucket there. We do not use a computer system here, just some old ledgers that are starting to fall apart at the edges. It is a lot of manual work, lifting and carrying things. We know all the other shopkeepers around this part of the market, so we often help each other out when it is needed. It is just a regular local business like any other.
