Details

Step into an authentic shoemaker’s artisan workshop in Rome and make a pair of leather sandals that is truly yours. In just 1.5 hours, you will go beyond watching and actually create your sandal from start to finish, working hands-on at the workbench with real tools like a hammer, glue, and professional shoemaking equipment, all provided.

After a quick introduction to the craft, you will choose from 3 styles and pick your favourite leather colours and pattern combinations. Then, guided step by step by an expert artisan, you will shape, assemble, and finish your sandal with the same techniques used in traditional Italian footwear making. It is practical, creative, and surprisingly satisfying, especially because you see the result take shape right in your hands.

The experience is designed for beginners and creative travellers, with a small group of up to 5 people to keep it personal and relaxed, so you’ll always have support when you need it. And the best part: you leave with a one-of-a-kind, 100% Made in Italy sandal that you made yourself, a souvenir you will actually wear, not just pack away.
