About Me
MY PASSION for SHOEMAKINGSince 2012
Daniel Charkow is an emerging shoe designer and shoemaker. His appreciation for hand-tooling and sustainability are key features in his designs.
Inspired by Lady Gaga’s fierce fashion and bold choices, at age twelve Daniel created his first shoe. Falling in love with the art, Daniel pursued shoemaking at the Art and Sole Academy in Toronto under the guidance of master instructor Jennifer Alison.
