The joy of making, the excitement of using, your own shoes

What is Loper?

Roper is a shoe that combines leather craft and sneakers.


The high-quality leather upper and durable sole are assembled without adhesive.

We have achieved a comfortable fit that makes you want to wear them every day.

People-friendly

More than 90% of the shoes you see every day are manufactured using adhesives.
Most of the adhesives used are organic solvent types.


When it sticks, it evaporates and releases toxic vapors.


That's why ventilation equipment is essential in shoe factories.
But you can't completely vent it.


Project Loper was started from the desire to design a manufacturing system that would be safer for the working conditions and health of those involved in shoe manufacturing.

Earth-friendly

Normally, shoemaking requires expensive equipment investment and skilled techniques.


Instead of mass production, we use local materials to create high-quality products that incorporate local characteristics.


By creating a system that allows products to be purchased from trusted people, we aim to create a cycle that makes both users and producers rich and happy.

Workshop

Let's all have fun making shoes

Why not join a workshop and experience the fun of making your own shoes?


No adhesive is used, so you can remake it as many times as you like even if you make a mistake.


Loper headquarters' certified instructors hold workshops throughout Japan.

DIY & Repair

Repair it yourself at home.

Custom-made Shoes

You can order a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes by choosing your favorite materials from a wide variety.

Normally, it's difficult to find shoes that fit your feet perfectly, and shoemaking is very expensive.

Loper eliminates the need for shoe lasts and allows for pattern adjustments to fit individual feet, making it possible to create shoes that not only look good but also fit your specific foot shape.
