Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was just wondering how many of you guys were interested in/own/create custom shoes?

Examples:





I'd like to try some day, if I had enough $$$

im totally gonna do this

I know a guy who does custom shoes but idk what he uses.

I dotn talk to him much.

ive probably done between 5-10 pairs of custom shoes within the past couple years

if youre using a canvas shoe (i.e. a Vans(c) type slip-on) you can go ahead and use basic sharpie permanent markers; theyre cheap as hell and the pair of shoes i made years ago still look amazing, if a little dirty. id love to do a new pair but plain white slipons are so hard to find this time of year crying

if youre using the more plastic-feeling sports shoes (idk how else to describe them) youre better off using something like a leather paint. ive tried paint markers but i find they like to chip off sometimes ,_,

take pics of your finished one ok biggrin
