Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t sell shoes at all. I paint on shoes that you provide. 

Pretty much any footwear is able to be painted. The best kind of shoes will have either a leather type surface or a tight weave canvas. I can paint shoes with laces or slip on shoes. If you aren’t sure what to get I have some favorites on Amazon I can recommend here.

For local customers, we can arrange a drop off at my home. You can also drop them off at Four Corners Merchants (in the Fairwood Big Lots Plaza) and Karen will contact me to pick them up. 

Local AND Non-local  clients can have shoes shipped directly to me from Amazon, and other sellers.  I’ll provide my address in these instances. 

Anything you want. Within reason. I’m not Sistine Chapel level…yet. If I don’t think I can do a fabulous job, I will tell you. 

I use acrylic, leather acrylic, alcohol ink and gel ink. The medium is dependent on the shoe material and the art design. 

The cost is dependent upon the time it takes and the complexity of the design. Most designs will be between two and three hours of work at $20 per hour, more complicated designs, and/or larger shoes can take four, five or more hours. The baby shoes, I can usually whip those out in about one hour. 

After we chat about what you want your shoes to look like I can tell you approximately how long it’ll take for me to complete so you know what to expect the cost to be. I asked for a $20 deposit and then you get me your shoes. Once I received them I will start painting. I can also send you pictures along the way. The balance of the total is due at pick up or shipping, depending on how the shoes will get back to you. 

All shoes, regardless of their materials, are treated with a waterproof protector. This means that the paint will not run or bleed. You will also be able to gently clean them. As they are shoes, there will always be a certain amount of wear and tear on them eventually.

 I can accept cash, major credit cards. Venmo, and Zelle. If you need to use another form of payment, we can figure it out.
