the sneaker starter kit gets your custom sneaker build off to a quick start. perfect for hobbyists or leather crafters that are ready to try DIY shoemaking. all you need is basic leather crafting skills and you can build your choice of high top or low cut sneakers.

the kit includes a pair of rubber outsoles, footbed foam, lasting board, the sneaker pattern, sole stitching needle, and disappearing ink pen. there is also a video that shows you the full build.

all you will need is leather (we recommend 1.5 to 2.0mm), shoes laces, glue, scissors, and thread. if you are an absolute newbie and need tools they have you covered too. just check out the shoemakers academy and get all that you need. very cool. by ar
