Shoe factory


This week's field trip went to the inci shoe factory, and it wasn't as fascinating as last weeks baklava factory tour, but it was still very interesting.  This tour wasn't as hands-on and detailed as the previous and I guess that might be because there are too  many dangerous machines involved in making shoes.  With a group of 9 year olds, they have to think safety, even in a country where a taxi driver gets offended if you try to put on a seatbelt.  
At the shoe factory we got to visit all departments from designing to production to show room, 
but we didn't get to sample.. :-(



The main production room was pretty noisy and smelled strongly of glue.

The leather store room made for an interesting safari.

A proto type is being made.

Assembly line.

Only ladies shoes were made at this location.

And they were fabulous!

Can't wait for summer!
