Çelik said, "MasterShoes offers not only profit but also access to investment opportunities. Our goal is to make Konya an international showcase for the footwear industry."
KASD President Kemal Özarar emphasized that Konya's footwear industry is now standing out not only with its production capacity but also with its branding vision. Özarar stated, “The MasterShoes Fair is the most concrete indicator of this transformation. Making our domestic producers more visible in export markets is possible through such organizations. The trio of design, technology, and collaboration will carry the sector into the future.” Konya Shoemakers Chamber President Muhammet Acar drew attention to Konya's strategic position in Turkey's footwear production. Acar said, “Today, approximately 40% of the shoes exported and sold in the domestic market in Turkey are produced in Konya. This city is the backbone of the footwear sector. Thanks to fairs like MasterShoes, we both showcase our production power and establish new connections. Konya is now progressing towards becoming not only a center of production but also of fashion and design.” Participants and visitors had the opportunity to closely examine the new collections exhibited during the fair, as well as innovations and future trends in the sector. With its structure encompassing the entire process from production to export, the Konya footwear sector is strengthening Turkey's position in the global market. MasterShoes Fair inspires industry professionals while transforming Konya from just a production center into a fashion and trade hub.
