Design and make your own custom shoes at the Colorado Shoe School.
THERE: Shoemaking Workshops
By Necee Regis - Globe Correspondent
When you’re ready to hit the road again, express your creative side at the recently opened Colorado Shoe School. Offering one- to five-day shoe making workshops for all skill levels, guests design their own custom shoes using repurposed leather destined for the landfill, and recycled sole options ranging from bike tires to rubber flooring. You can even bring in your own leather — including that 1980s jacket you love to hate — to craft a unique pair of shoes, sneakers, sandals, or boots. Classes are held in a custom-built studio in the small town of Bellvue, a 15-minute drive from Fort Collins. To ensure social distancing, workshops will only host only up to four participants at a time; individual workshops can be scheduled any days except Wednesdays or Saturdays. Rates from $190 includes all materials and tools.
