Or how to make your shoe go from this...
to this!
The bad thing about cheap shoes - they fall apart.
These faux suede brogues from the op shop started shedding the fake wood heel on the first wear. Oh well - I didn't like the colour ( or lack there of) anyway.
And the good thing about cheap shoes...is that you can experiment on them!
I peeled off the fake wood veneer heel ( pretty easy as it was practically evaporating off!) and then I stuffed them with newspaper painted the suede with acrylic paint..it tool a few layers and I really massaged the wet paint into the surface...
and finished them off with some spray clear sealant....
and gold heels...because I had gold paint...but may change it....it's only paint!
What do you think?
Excellent shoe upgrade!!! That's the good thing about cheap stuff - you can play with it and not feel bad. I love how you incorporated several bright colours. I hope these shoes become faves now. They are worthy.
