Welcome to The Shoe College.

The Shoe College was established in 2003 by an American custom shoe designer to help pass on the lost skills of this wonderful art.
Discovering through her own educational and vocational experiences (gotten largely in London & NYC) the lack of full ranging footwear design programs available in the US, she began offering classes modelled on training programs used for her own employees.

The Shoe College offers learning opportunities through scheduled classes, apprenticeships and internships at all skill levels and in all types of footwear. Classes are conducted in a working shoe lab in Northern Az.

Tamera Lyndsay hosts the classes bringing her over 20 years experience straight to you! She is a working shoe designer and the head of the company. Tamera Started her career in NYC with millinery lines and worked her way down to the feet eventually. Tamera's footwear & accessories (available in select stores and through her company's website, http://www.WilmaWorld.com) have been the best kept secret of the rich and famous for over 20 years.
