The Shoe People

The Shoe People was an animated television series which was first seen in the UK. It later moved on to many different countries, such as Israel. The story started in a Shoe Repairs Shop. The Shoe Mender tries to repair all the shoes he gets, but sometimes he can't repair them all. He doesn't throw these shoes away, but puts them in the back room of the shop. This room has a secret, every night when the Shoe Mender locks up the shop, he shuts the door and the strangest thing happens. A large cloud of dust from the room fills the air and when it rests, the Shoes come to life, the back wall disappears and Shoe Town appears. This is where all the Shoes and Boots live. There are various characters in the animation such as:
