Always lots of questions when it comes to custom work! If you don't see
your question here or would like more info, feel free to email me. What kind
of material works best for hand painted shoes?
Any kind of leather, suede or canvas. Lighter colors are ideal, however dark ones work
nearly as well.
How does the paint adhere and not come off the shoe?
I prepare the leather (special secret process!) to get it ready to accept the paint. The
paint actually penetrates the leather for a long lasting, wearable piece of art for your feet.
Are they sealed?
An acrylic sealer is applied to all shoes. It's probably overkill as some of my personal
ones have never been sealed and still wear beautifully, but I'd rather be safe than sorry!
What if my Art Shoes get wet?
Not a problem! Artist acrylics are used which result in a durable, waterproof finish. On top
of that I apply an acrylic sealer. I wouldn't recommend traipsing through puddles in them,
but then I wouldn't recommend it for any leather shoe!
How do I clean them?
If necessary use a damp soft cloth to clean the hand painted artwork and treat the rest of
the shoe as you would any quality leather.
What sizes are available?
Any size & width! You can either send me a pair of your shoes for painting or I can buy
them locally. In either case, you can be assured of a fit and size you need. On in stock
Art Shoes just the sizes listed are available.
I'm really hard to fit, can I send you some of my shoes?
Of course! Many people prefer to check the fit prior to painting, purchase their own, dig
some out of the closet or have specific brands they like. It's a great way to revitalize
shoes that you don't wear!
What style of shoes are best for painting?
About any style works. The shoe's style and shape, along with owner preferences, help
determine the design.
Do you paint men's shoes?
Definitely! Why shouldn't men have some fun shoes in their wardrobe as well!
What brands do you choose?
I always select a quality name brand like Easy Spirit, Bass, Naturalizer, Nine West, Earth
Shoe, etc. And, I always go for comfort!
