The Right Tools

The right tools make all the difference in whatever you’re making. At the school we have a great selection of tools for each process–and we do our best to keep the blades sharp to lower the frustration levels! For those of you who are itching to skive, cut, trim, edge, glue, form, pound or punch(all highly technical terms as you can see), We’ve got what you need. Let’s make some shoes!

  • Hello,
    My name is Molly Siri and I recently graduated from a school in Florence, Italy with my masters in Footwear Design, which included training in the craftsmanship of building a shoe. I am incredibly passionate about the actual craft of constructing a shoe and was thrilled when I came across your website tonight! I am trying to break into the industry now and would love to connect with someone from the school. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. I am from the Chicago area and am including my contact info below.

    Thanks and Best Regards!
    Molly

    Hi I just did a shoe making course in London and I live in the Caribbean, can you advise of a tool and post machine supplier in the US as this will be easier for shipping and more cost effective for me.

    Best regards

  • Hi Sarah!

    Have you put together those nifty leather working kits for those of us who have itchy hands to work on some leather projects?
