Shoe Factory and outlet!!!!

On Saturday, we went to a shoe factory with an outlet store in Elche called “Salvador Artesano”. The shoe factory is located in an industrial park area of the city.  The entrance to the factory is unassuming  and it did not look like a large factory.

The inside of the outlet area of the factory is massive. We could see shoes, boots, and purses for the whole length of the factory building.   Shelley enjoyed walking around the displays looking at the vast assortment of shoes.

There were two levels to the shoe factory. The lower level had new shoes, boots, and handbags. The second level had discounted shoes and older model shoes.

We looked at the factory outlet section for about an hour before heading to the cash.

Once we paid for our shoes we headed out of the factory outlet.

Unfortunately, the factory floor was not working on Saturday. We looked at the factory section through some glass windows. It was interesting to note that the majority of the shoes being made are still done mostly by hand.

Once we got home Shelley tried on her new shoes. It was a great day and lots of fun .
