Occupations that are transferred from one generation to the next in a master-apprentice relationship are called traditional occupations. The most important point in determining traditional occupations is whether the profession is based on handicrafts. In this regard, making accordion boots, which require a specialized knowledge and great effort, is among traditional occupations. In this article, a long and tiring journey to Kusadasi due to the absence of those who used to do this profession in Ordu and the Black Sea Region, the efforts made to learn the profession there, and Turkay Usta (master), who had a leading role in keeping the tradition of accordion boots in Ordu, and how he makes these boots are explained. With the efforts of Turkay Usta, the tradition of wearing accordion boots continue to be followed in highland festivals, local and seasonal ceremonies such as the Seventh of May festival, Hidirellez, horse races and weddings. Since the construction phase of accordion boots is very difficult and there are difficulties in finding and raising apprentices as it does not bring much income, Turkay Usta, who is the only master, or craftsman, in Ordu and even in the Black Sea, needs to be supported and evaluated in vocational training and it needs to be ensured that he takes part in traditional product sales places. Accordion bellows boots worn by horse breeders and horse riders are worn together with local clothes at highland festivals. These garment accessories and boots are the symbol of the nobility of wealthy people, formerly known as the network, with large lands. In this study, the story of a craftsman who has been trying hard to keep the tradition of accordion boot making and wearing alive and how accordion boots are made are examined considering and discussing the past and present of the tradition.
