At Faia, hands also made shoes

Between the vineyard and the wood, there's another trade to find out.

Explore this story

The municipal presentation of the Faia includes the manual manufacture of footwear among the artisan traditions of the parish, next to the tannaria. It is a clue to look at the local economy beyond the fields: we also worked with our hands to produce everyday objects.

The source does not identify workshops, craftsmen or footwear models. Therefore, this reference does not allow you to choose a current store or claim that it was punches or clogs. This question remains open. Compared to the documented stories of soles and tampons from other parishes helps to realize how much a craft name can hide from materials, techniques and people.
