Leon, Guanajuato - Footwear and Shoe Industry contacts
I live in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico….which might mean nothing to you unless you are involved in the leather industry or shoe business. Leon is home to the majority of the leather tanneries and shoe factories in Mexico.
For those of you seeking industry contacts, here is a brief list of links to the major shoe related organizations in Mexico.
The biggest and most important international shoe fair in Mexico. Held two times per year. Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter.
The Mexican Shoe Association in the State of Guanajuato.
- The National Association of Suppliers for the Footware Industry.
If you want to find reliable exporters of shoes, leather, and leather goods contact COFOCE. Highly recommended.

Hell I am living in Leon and I have been making shoes since 1985 if you need help please contact me, and I can provide information and assistance. My e-mail is jimrossy@hotmail.com. I can send photos of my past work, and I have experience in most manufacturing processes. I majored in chemical engineering at the University of Texas A & M. I have worked here in Leon for over 6 years, and before that I worked in France with Xavier Clergerie (the son of Robert Clergerie) and in South Korea working on athletic shoes.

Hello Lee, I am looking for a high end shoe manufacture in Leon that is able to produce monthly quantities of 1000 shoes. My product needs to have materials of the highest quality. Lastly, the design of our shoes will be constantly changing in color, materials, and simple alterations to the base structure. These manufacturers need to be very up to date and versatile. Thank You

Hi Pat,
This is Deedee Sullivan. I saw (& met Phoebe Snow last sunday & have been thinking of you so much more (than usual), so I googles you & Pat on the web. This is as far as I’ve gotten so far. I tried your old (we won’t say how old) phone numbers–to no avail. This chat room has to do with shoes and the Midwest, so I thought that I’d give it a try. If you are Patricia Beehner/Hackett, please get a hold of me. 503-735-0204. I’ve just been missing you & appreciating the many gifts that our friendship brought into my life.
Gratefully yours,
Deed/MaryGail
