Marikina kicks off yearly shoe festival on Sept. 16

Shoe-lovers should get ready for the Marikina City government’s annual shoe festival.

The formal launch of the Sapatos Festival will be on Monday, Sept. 16, through the inauguration of Patio Del Zapateros, a one-stop shoe shop on J. P. Rizal Street.

The shop will feature Marikina-made shoes which are 30-percent cheaper than those sold in commercial establishments.

A Mega Shoe Sale will also be held at Lucky Chinatown Mall from Sept. 28 to 29, SM City Marikina from Oct. 19 to 20 and Sta. Lucia East Mall from Oct. 26 to 27.

A shoe caravan will also go around the different cities and municipalities in Metro Manila from Sept. 30 to Nov. 8.

The festival with the theme, “I Feel Good,” will run until Dec. 30.

Mayor Del de Guzman urged the public to check out the products which he said would be sold “at very reasonable prices” during the festival.

“Marikina’s footwear products are known for durability, comfort and style,” he said.
