Helpful Questions

What should I pack?
Please inform me of your shoe size in EU metrics, after booking the experience. I'll be needing this to prepare soles for you and your guest(s).
Is the material water resistant? For example, wear after day at the beach
W, 24 Nov 2023
Hello W, our host doesn't recommend wearing these to the beach as the soles will misshapen when it is wet (the soles are made out of jute). I hope this information helps! :)
can my daughter & I do the shoe making class together?
vickie, 14 Oct 2023
Hi Vickie, you're more than welcome to join the class with your daughter. If both of you only want to make one pair of shoes, you just need to pay for one person. You can accompany your daughter if she needs some assistance :)
Glad to see your website. Unfortunately, i just saw it now and we will be in singapore tomorrow til monday and my son who is 10 is keen to know about shoe making. would you offer lessons for him? Was hoping that someone backed out 24 hours before the event. can my son take the slot? he is really in to shoes. loves to clean shoes evey single day. appreciate your response.
bea de silos, 28 Sep 2023
Hi Bea! Glad to hear from you. So cool that your son is into shoes! As of right now, this workshop is not due to start until November. But allow us to double check to see if by any chance the host might be able to open up a slot. But just so you know, it's unlikely, because the host is due to be traveling. We will get back to you via email in a few hours!
