Treats for your day
Morning Coffee:
Walk to Los Dorados LA Restaurant and Coffee Shop. Adorable indoor cafe and a beautiful and large outdoor patio. Delicious food and some amazing coffee. Famous for their handmade flautas.
Lunch at MX 3030!!
This is a gem in the heart of El Sereno. It is very clean, has super attentive staff, and serves delicious Mexican food. Excellent chilaquiles and tasty green pozole.

I did it! Made my first pair of shoes. Feeling very accomplished and proud. The kit was excellent for a beginner and the workshop in L.A. was an excellent addition and super fun. I highly recommend this Build Kit (and the workshop if you can swing it!)

I came across your company and decided to order your sneaker kit. The first thing I discovered was that the kit was very complete (everything but the glue which was no problem to find). But the thing that brought it all together for me was the incredibly detailed assembly video that accompanied it. For the first time I finally and completely understood the process including variables that could be used.
Thank you so much for your excellent product!

Love these kits and what you are about.
L.T. –
The build workshop was awesome. I learned so much about shoemaking and got to hang out and collaborate with The Shoe Dog and a bunch of other creative and interesting people. I also loved the taco shop next door. Great peeps. I’m looking forward to more events at the LA Studio and feel equipped to continue my skills to the next level.

Thanks for collecting all the random stuff we need to get us started making shoes. I am doing a vocational training class and everyone will be able to get a kit and complete a project. I’ll send you pics of the final projects. We’ve got all levels of craftspeople joining us. Appreciate the group discount and your offer to Zoom in and work with us. Can’t wait.

Total beginner here – learned so much about how shoes are made and was able to make my own sneakers over the weekend. My friends are super impressed and my sneakers fit and are comfortable!
