Moon Blaze Shoes

Moon Blaze Shoes is tucked away in the Leather Industrial area at No. 301/1 in Periawariigam, Tuduped. If you know the area, you know it’s mostly workshops and factories. The smell of leather is pretty much everywhere here, and we’ve gotten used to it over the years. We spend our days working with different materials and making sure the soles are stuck on right. It gets hot in the afternoons, especially when the machines are running, but we have a couple of fans that keep the air moving. My brother and I started this because we knew how to handle the tools. We aren't a big corporation or anything like that. It's just a bunch of guys in a workshop. The floor is usually covered in scraps of leather and rubber by the end of the shift. We clean it up every evening before we lock the gates. Being in Tuduped means we get to see a lot of the other makers around here too. Sometimes we trade supplies or just grab tea together at the corner. We don't have a fancy showroom. Most of our time is spent out back where the actual work happens. The address is 301/1, and it's easy to miss if you aren't looking for the number on the gate. We’ve been at this for a long time and we just like making shoes that people can actually walk in for a full day without their feet hurting.
