Founded in 2012 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Brooklyn Shoe Space operates as a community-based shoemaking studio and educational hub within the retail apparel and fashion sector. It provides access to industrial tools and shared workspaces, alongside expert-led courses in shoemaking, leathercraft, and footwear design. The organization aims to lower traditional barriers to entry and foster an inclusive environment for both beginners and more experienced makers. The space centers on hands-on learning, creative experimentation, and small-batch production.

Its programs attract students from diverse backgrounds, including people traveling from across the United States and abroad to participate in classes and intensives. The organization is transitioning toward nonprofit status to expand programming, establish scholarships, and pursue workforce development opportunities in footwear design, repair, and sustainable production, with a longer-term aim of strengthening community ties through shared facilities and events.
