[Shoe Crane] Ai Tsuruga

Mainly on-site workshops in Toyama Prefecture

We learn traditional shoemaking methods and create custom-made shoes.

I had always wanted to be able to make my own shoes, and that's when I came across Loper.
I was very impressed that I could easily experience the fun of making shoes, that I could repair them myself, and that since there was no glue required for shoemaking, I didn't have to worry about ventilation and it wasn't harmful to my body.
I became a shoemaker because I enjoy making shoes so much, so I would be happy if you could share that joy with me.

Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture

We've been running leather classes for 15 years!
We created exciting items and enjoyed wearing them with everyone.

No way!!
I can make my own shoes!

Shoes filled with all the things you love about yourself!
That alone is enough to make me happy, but they're also incredibly comfortable to wear!
It was a shock!
I was excited and felt like a new world was opening up.

I hope to enjoy shoemaking together and share the joy and excitement of crafting something.

Workshops currently being held

Here is the upcoming schedule. Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis.

If there are no workshops held near you, we also accept inquiries about on-site workshops. Please also use the inquiry form to register for notifications when seats become available.

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.
