A shoe seller waits for customers in Sidoarjo, East Java. The shoes, sold at around Rp 40,000 (about US$3.8) a pair, are sourced from nearby shoe workshops. The continuing global economic downturn has left the Sidoarjo-made shoes relatively unscathed since local customers are looking for affordable footwear. (JP/Indra Harsaputra)
