It's finally Friday and while I have been missing out on posting in #marketfriday for quite some time, I can't wait to show you around the leather market in Fez!
Market Friday is organised by 
As a guy, I am usually not a huge fan of shoe shopping and only get a new pair when my old ones are worn off, but the shoes sold at the leather market in Fes el-Bali, the old town of Fez, were fascinating even to me. I did not buy any shoes though but went with taking photos of different shoe patterns.
I don't know if some clever merchants are selling some imported shoes disguised as leather, but as far as I could tell, all the shoes are produced locally, many of them are actually manufactured right in the stall that sell them.
The leather for the shoes is produced in the local tannery that is located within the city borders of Fes el-Bali. The process of manufacturing leather is quite amazing; I am planning on publishing a short photo documentary about the tanneries of Fez soon, so stay tuned!
Camera Gear
The camera I used to capture this photo is a Nikon D5500 (APS-C) with a Nikon 10-20mm F4,5–5,6 and a Nikon 18-140mm F3.5-5.6 lens.
