  The only hand-made leather shoes maker in Macau now ! Mr Tang who is 85 years old ,has been a shoe-maker for the last 70 years since 1946 . He started his shoe making apprenticeship after graduating from a technical school when he was 15 years old . He is part of the history of Macau . He is still making shoes with his pair of skilled hands everyday with his pretty wife whom is using a shoe-sewing machine to help her husband during the shoe-making process . The sewing machine itself is already a good piece of antique ( it was manufactured on 21st Feb 1899 , imported into Macau during the late Qing Dynasty period , please refer to photo) . He charges US$60-$80 ( HK$480-$620) for a pair of hand-made leather shoes . What more can you ask for ? While you are wearing the shoes , you are carrying a piece of history of Macau with you .
