| Post subject: | Hand made boots |
I would like to get a nice pair of boots on my up coming trip I read the old post most are fairly old. Those post say the shops around Torre Mercedes (Scotia Bank?) are the best bets. Does anyone know if that is still true? I will be in town for 3 weeks is that long enough for them to make them Thanks |

have not been there in years, but i would be surprised if all those small boot shops are still not in existence. 3 weeks should be plenty of time if you visit them early in your vacation. walk about the neighborhood, there used to be at least 4 or 5 small leather/boot shops. |

There is a large Scotia Building on Paseo Colon it is still referred to a Torre Mercedes even though Scotia took it over over 3 years ago. Its is about Calle22. As you are standing on Paseo Colon and facing the Scotia building the bank is on the northeast corner. Keeping the Scotia building on your right go two blocks (north). In that area you will find many leather shops that custom make boots. |
