I think Luna Ooi has done some videos. Vietnam has a lot of garment factories including shoes. They are often conflated with so called “sweat shops”, but the pay, hours, safety condition, age requirements etc are better. Sometimes not to western standards but improving. Frequently unionised in large ones.
There’s still some shops with shitty conditions this is often smaller scale petit bourgeois family operations.
