Directions

Seongsu-dong is Seoul's historic leather and shoemaking district, and the cluster of workshops and small market stalls here lets you buy custom or semi-custom handmade shoes directly from craftspeople at fair prices. It's a niche but genuinely rewarding experience for anyone interested in craft and design. Not a traditional market in the food sense — it's about artisanal goods — and some workshops require advance appointments for full custom orders.
