Handmade leather sandals, a craft with Minoan roots, are sold in several Old Town shops in Rethymno, often made to fit and adjustable on the spot. Klimatsakis is a Cretan family workshop, making sandals from scratch since 2006, that also has a Rethymno store selling sandals for men, women and children alongside leather bags, belts and wallets. Many smaller leather and sandal stalls line the pedestrian streets between the Rimondi Fountain and the harbour. Buy genuine leather rather than the cheap synthetic copies and ask the maker to size them to your foot.
