Unique to Hong Kong’s landscape, understairs shops are rare architectural gems in our city. Wing Wah Shoes is an embroidered slipper store on Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei, that is tucked away under a flight of stairs. With an area of less than 100 square feet, it is visited by many brides-to-be who come to buy its embroidered mandarin duck shoes. Hidden under another staircase is Gun Kee Shoes, a cobbler shop established in the early 1990s. Edward So, the current owner, chose to inherit his father’s legacy upon seeing how he remained emotionally attached to the business even on his deathbed.
