Shoemakingbook.com - Learn to make shoes by hand. Shoemaking Schools and Colleges © Tim Skyrme 2010 Finding a school to learn shoemaking is difficult as there are not very many of them worldwide, this list was started to help students find a place to study. If you know of a school that is not on this list, please let me know and I will add it. I do not endorse any of these establishments specifically, this list is purely to assist people wishing to access a school which teaches footwear manufacture. , Sweden
