Specialty Tools For Sandal Making

When first starting out in shoemaking, it can be tricky knowing what tools are best and where you can get them from! When I created the DIY Sandal Kits and accompanying Specialty Tools Kit, I was trying to alleviate this problem as it can be a huge hindrance in just getting started! 

With the upcoming 12 month closure of The Shoe Camaraderie, I wanted to help make sourcing your own tools much easier. 

The following set will sort you out for all TSC designs, as well as most other sandal making and craft projects. 

The links below are not an exhaustive lists of suppliers for the specialty tools, but instead a good starting place. If you do not want to purchase from any of the linked businesses, you should still review them as it will inform your own research.

Wishing you all the best in your quest for tools!
