Dream shoes made just for you...
From fit to final polish, Amara Hark Weber designs and makes every part of her footwear by hand. She has no employees and does not outsource any element. She has been making shoes and boots full time for more than 10 years.
Ordering custom footwear begins with a fitting, and results in one-of-a-kind footwear tailor made for your body. If you are interested in ordering or have questions about the process, please get in touch via the form below. The wait time between fitting and completed footwear ranges from 6-14 months.
Amara began learning from DW Frommer, and continued with Janne Melkersson, and Marcell Mrsan. She has past degrees from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the London School of Economics, and Bard College. She occasionally teaches one-on-one shoemaking tutorials, and short courses at various schools. For more information on her shoemaking journey and practice, please see articles below.
If you do not hear back from Amara within a week, please try again.
She can also be direct messaged via Instagram.
