I don't see the difference in quality between these and what we import from China. And they can only get better with patronage .

The craftsmen admitted that the quality could improve but they couldn't afford the necessary machines required for tighter finishing and due to low patronage of local products, they can't afford to take loans to purchase them.

Please note that these are craftsmen who can work to specifications. They don't know about all the modern he tools eg advertising and all but they know their craft and they are ready to work.

So, entrepreneurs this is a good time and opportunity to launch your footwear business customized for your companies.

In the words of Fela: "Buy African Goods"

Local products rock

More

Even belts

@op keep it up. If it is possible to import the machines needed for perfect output could be gotten in batches, go ahead. If you do, someday you will realise that you have all the machines.

In life, the world most times dont recognise the beginner but the established.

When you stand, the world will come knocking.

My uncle is a boutique owner and he buys his shoes, bags,wallets, and belts from aba and sell them as imported goods and his customers doesn't know this because they are quality goods. #Abamade

The problem with Aba made shoes, is their 'finishing' and some of the materials they use are poor. But when you talk of Designs, 'Aba' has it. no.... they are good in designs when it comes to designing shoes but finishing and poor material is their problem.

When you see an 'Aba made' shoe that has good finishing.....you will believe it's imported.

Perfect finishing i must say

@ OP, what market or place in Abu can one get an artisan to produce these shoes/belts?
