Class Supplies Document

Learn how to make your very own bespoke sneakers! In this class, we will sew the quilted uppers of the sneaker, punch holes for laces, and attach those uppers to the soles. Shoe-making tools and some notions will be provided and shared during class.

In order to do this class, students must purchase a Sneaker Starter Kit from Tandy Leather or the New SneakerKit Version from Chicago School of Shoemaking—it does not matter which supplier you choose. Please purchase the kit at least 2 weeks in advance of class to allow for shipping.
