Description

Join bespoke shoemaker Kira Goodey in this intensive 8-day workshop to design and craft your own pair of custom boots. Choose your style – thigh-high, knee-high, or ankle boots – and decide whether you'd like a platform or a traditional heel.

We provide all the components you'll need, including a curated selection of premium leathers: black, black patent, silver, gold, red, and light or dark lining lining options. Additional leathers in various colours are available for accents or small design details.

Personalise your boots by selecting your fastening style (zip-up or lace-up) and adding details like toe or heel caps. From pattern cutting to sole attachment, you'll be guided through every step of the process and leave with a handcrafted pair of boots uniquely your own.
