Most people have never experienced a shoe made specifically for their foot. Nothing pinches; nothing rubs. If you find shoes that fit at the "marts", you are not looking for me. A properly fit shoe makes walking easier; does not cause back problems; lasts a long time and is repairable. I make beautiful shoes and boots to fit a specific person's feet. Leather that breathes and craftsmanship that endures combine for an unique experience. Educating people that these are still valued qualities still practiced is why I demonstrate the Art and Mystery of a Cordwainer. The Gentle Art of shoe making is still done. At the Mankato Makerspace I teach classes in both Shoemaking and general leatherwork.
