Hand Painted Shoes

Hand Painted Shoes - Restoration

Hand painted shoes. Such a cool concept.

It's an opportunity to take a pair of old, dingy shoes, and make them vibrant again.

One can experiment with making the shoes a new color, and even create a design on the shoes, if so inclined.

There really are no rules.

The shoes are original. They are one of a kind. No one else has a pair like them.

So far, I have painted on sandals, boots, pumps, sneakers and clogs.

I can now add flats to the list.

Depending on the fabric, the shoes may be painted with fabric paint, or leather paint.

I think I like painting leather shoes with leather paint the best.

I recently painted a pair of black leather boots, and they are now turquoise.

Each time I have painted shoes I have given them about three to four coats of paint.

It's amazing to see the transformation.

The first pair of shoes that I painted was a pair of white leather sandals that I purchased at a second hand store.

I had the shoes for a while before I decided to take the plunge.

It was a little messy at first, but I eventually got the hang of it.

Yellow was my color of choice.

When I was finished, the shoes looked as if they had been yellow all along.

My first attempt at painting shoes were a pair of sandals. They were originally white, and I painted them yellow.

I also painted athletic wear, and a pair of boots.

I absolutely love painting.

I am so grateful to have this wonderful outlet.

It is very rewarding to see the finished product.

It's also great that I am able to clearly process my thoughts and ideas as I am painting.

It is so therapeutic.

Because I am an introvert, it allows me time to get refreshed, and re-energized.

When painting shoes, one must be very detailed, as there can be a lot of small sections to paint.

This is especially true if the shoes have straps, and buckles.

I personally love painting intricate details. It is thought provoking, and fun at the same time.

When I am focused, and in a zone, there is nothing else I would rather be doing.

I am re-branding to ethnically diverse hand painted graphics for fashionistas, and will shutdown this website on June 30, 2025.
