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.

樓梯舖是香港獨有的風景，是本地難得一見的建築紀錄。榮華賣繡花拖鞋，坐落油麻地彌敦道樓梯間。店舖不夠一百尺，戲水鴛鴦繡花鞋，是不少準新娘的必買之選。另一間樓梯舖是根記補鞋，九十年代初，老闆權哥爸爸患病，他卻堅持他的補鞋工作。為了父親，他最後揀選了重拾補鞋的手藝。
