Jalisco footwear manufacturers lament lack of leather

15/07/2015
The president of the footwear manufacturers’ association of the Mexican state of Jalisco, Salvador González Rodríguez, has said his member companies are finding it more and more difficult to source leather of the type they use most frequently.

Jalisco is Mexico’s second-biggest footwear-producing state, after Guanajuato, and has long had a reputation as an important producer of women’s shoes in particular.

In recent comments to local media, Salvador González Rodríguez said Jalisco producers’ specialism is making shoes using leathers of thin substance from raw material such as sheepskin, but he said supply is becoming difficult to come by.
