Invest in a craft

Your investment preserves knowledge, empowers new makers, and creates lasting impact.

What does a course cost?

Developing one complete course in orthopedic shoemaking is an investment of about € 8,000. At first glance, that may sound like a lot — but it is exactly what it takes to create high-quality, practical, and lasting education.

Each course includes:
  • Professional video recording and editing - to capture the craft in detail and make it understandable worldwide
  • Travel to workshops and experts - because the best knowledge often lives where the work is actually done
  • Materials - shoes can only be taught through real practice, using leather, lasts, and components
  • Integration into our digital platform - making the course accessible anytime, anywhere, and in multiple languages
  • Time and coordination by experienced educators - ensuring that every module is accurate, clear, and future-proof
  • Outreach and access - so that the shoemakers who need it most, especially in low-income regions, can actually benefit
By investing in one course, you are not just funding videos or lessons. You are helping preserve a disappearing craft, giving new makers a future, and making sure this knowledge reaches communities worldwide.

€ 8,000 creates impact that lasts.
