Description

This intensive three-day course will introduce you quickly to the essential techniques of custom sneaker making and construction. This is a fast-paced, accelerated program! To accomplish this ambitious goal within the compressed timeframe, you will work from a pre-designed sneaker pattern template as your starting point.

You will choose from three different sneaker styles: low top, mid top, or high top construction. You'll have the opportunity to customize your design by selecting your preferred materials and adding simple design elements, including selection of topline treatment, lace style, eyelet placement, pull tab design, and topstitching details.

We recommend upgrading to our comprehensive 5-day shoemaking course if you're interested in creating more elaborate and complex designs beyond the basic styles covered in this program. Due to the tight timeframe of the three-day course, shoe lasts will not be modified, and all participants will work with standard MORGAN lasts throughout the program.

Day 1 (Complete Day): Learn pattern construction and design, cut your selected leather materials, and begin the stitching process
Students will select their preferred leather from our complete leather selection library. All materials are included in your tuition. If you prefer to shop for your own specialty leathers, you are welcome to do so on your own time and budget.
Day 2 (Complete Day): Finish stitching all seams, begin the lasting process to shape the shoe. Complete lasting operations, install heel counters, and toe reinforcements.
Day 3 (Complete Day): Apply the cupsole base, use specialty Speedy Stitching machines, or work with the sidewall stitcher for finishing.

Upon completion of the three-day intensive, you will leave with a completely custom pair of sneakers that you created yourself!

We recommend registering well in advance to ensure we have all the necessary materials available in your correct shoe sizes. Your course tuition includes all tools and supplies you will need.
