Toe Trainers

Course Overview

Our Toe Trainers course is designed as a hands-on experience focused on teaching specialized seasonal shoe making, such as flip-flops or house shoes, and includes unique techniques for specific shoe designs. Embrace the learning curve and minor imperfections as you create instruction-based shoes, practice various techniques, and even learn methods for designing shoe collections. Completing this project can be incredibly satisfying. If you can use basic tools like a ruler, tape measure, compass, and handle other tools responsibly, you have the potential to make your own wearable shoe. Beginners are welcome. Lessons start with clear explanations to help visualize your progress, together with additional notes to keep you on track. Occasionally, you'll need to provide details before starting a session so that suitable materials can be prepared.

Depending on the course you select, some additional supplies may be required, but we'll let you know what is needed at the start of the sessions . Purchase the course as a gift for yourself or someone else, and look out for short courses that might interest you or the recipient. The Toe Trainers sessions can also be transferred to another course or be used towards purchasing a custom-made pair of shoes.

Join us and take the first step towards mastering the art of shoemaking! This course has a 1-year expiration from the date of purchase. Group team-building activities can be requested and arranged, allowing for more than three participants, though not all courses can be organised in this format.
