5-DAY BOOT
$2400
Leather, tools, glue, grubby hands, tired muscles and full imaginations - the 5-day Boot workshop is the stuff of your shoemaking dreams! So if you’re up for the challenge I’d love to walk you through it (pun absolutely intended).
Boot workshops over held over x5 consecutive days. Follow the booking link for workshop dates. Please email me if you’d like to request a custom date.
On this workshop you will be making a pair of derby lace-up boots, from start to finish. Beginners are welcome.
The workshop includes an evening prep session from 6-8pm the day before your workshop starts. Then from 9-4pm daily the plan is -
Day 1: Cutting leather and components
Day 2 & 3: Sewing and lasting
Day 4. Lasting
Day 5: Soles
These are made to measure boots, so I will need your foot measurements prior to your workshop. Instructions on how to measure your feet can be found HERE and will also be sent in your registration confirmation email. It’s very important that you send your feet measurements early so that I can pixie-fix your lasts!
Choose from a classic dress leather, rubber or sturdy lugged sole. and a huge variety of leathers.
For more information regarding the style of boot you’ll make and the components you’ll choose from, click HERE.
Want a different toe shape? Maybe pointy or square? Email me with images of boot shapes you like and I will see what I have in stock that will fit you! shoeschoolau@gmail.com
You can use this free printable A4 template to design your boots for your upcoming workshop. Max boot height 18cm.
Please note: This class involves the cutting of thick leathers using craft knives, hammering and glueing. (If you're interested in a gentler shoemaking experience, I recommend the Sunday 1-day Sneaker workshop).
