Learn Norwegian Welting – Shoe Making Course

On this 6-day shoe making course you will learn the specialist Norwegian welted shoe construction which is used for strong, water-resistant footwear.

You will start with a comprehensive set of course notes and the shoe uppers, lasts, tools and materials that you need. Then we will guide you through hand lasting and then sewing a Norwegian welt. Your shoes are then ready to be sent to a cobbler for the sole to be stitched on and the heel attached.

Please contact us to arrange dates, to come in to try on samples shoes to choose your size and to choose the style of shoe or boot you would like to make; (there is a small surcharge for boots and additional detailing like brogue punching and toecaps).  We can also arrange to have shoe or boot uppers made for your own lasts for the course. Email [email protected] or call 07401 148763 and we’ll be happy to help. 

The fee for a tailored, 6-day Norwegian welt shoemaking course to make a simple Derby or Oxford shoe is £1795.
