Description

Nei, meaning to work in the royal court and Lian Sheng, meaning to be promoted, is an ancient shoe store that was recorded in the Cultural Heritage list in 2008. The shoes are made by hand and during imperial times, they only made shoes for the court. Today, anyone can buy shoes here and while many buy them as souvenirs, they are said to be extremely comfortable to wear and thus promote healthy feet. The shop custom makes men's, women's and children's shoes.
