1-day shoemaking workshop - Nationwide / Online
Why not join a workshop and experience the joy of making your own shoes?
Because no adhesives are used, you can remake them as many times as you like if you make a mistake.
Instructors certified by Loper headquarters hold workshops all over Japan.
Before you book
01
Cut the leather, punch holes, and sew with thread. That is the entire construction. Since there are no processes that require special equipment, even those who are holding a needle for the first time on that day can complete it.
02
You don't need to buy leather scissors, a screw punch, an awl, pliers, or glue. Just come empty-handed.
03
Ten sizes ranging from 21.5cm to 26.5cm, in 0.5 size increments. If your feet are different sizes, you can choose different patterns for the left and right foot.

More than 90% of the shoes you see every day are manufactured using adhesives.
Many of the adhesives used are solvent-based.
They volatilize as they bond, producing toxic fumes.
That's why shoe factories require ventilation equipment.
However, complete exhaust is not possible.
Normally, shoemaking requires expensive equipment and skilled techniques.
We aim to create high-quality products that incorporate local characteristics and use local materials, without mass production.
By creating a system where people can purchase these products from trusted sources, we aim to build a cycle where both users and makers can become prosperous and happy.
