On this one-day shoe design course we’ll show you how we design our bespoke shoes. Then, working on our almond toed 0743 shoe lasts, we’ll guide you through the design process yourself… advising on construction, material and detail considerations as we go.

At the end of the session you will leave with a sketchbook of ideas.
