Modded Buffalo sandals

In general, I hate sandals. I walk a lot (never learned to drive) so I need them to be comfortable and good enough quality to stand up to the number of miles i put in. Most sandals don't cut it. Also I just don't tend to like the way they look on my feet.

Last year I went on a mission to find some I liked, and came across these Buffalo ones on depop. I'd never worn Buffalo before so had no clue about the quality, but they were secondhand so I figured I wouldn't be too out of pocket if they fell apart. (This is a stock photo, not mine)

Theyre reasonably alternative already, quite cyber, but the brightly coloured tabs weren't really my aesthetic, so I covered them with black electrical tape (easier than painting them) and then I used my leather punch to make holes for spikes, and safety pinned some chains to them.

I'm pleased to report that I wore them all summer and they're still going strong. I'm looking forward to the weather getting warmer so I can start wearing them again.

Hello! I hope you are well!

I recently used you shoe painting tutorial to paint some shoes using Angelus leather paint. After one day of wear, they are splitting pretty horribly. Do you have any advice/ideas of what I might have done wrong? They were thrift store shoes (unidentifiable origin) that I prepped with acetone. I spent some time dancing in them, but was mostly walking around.

[Tutorial in question]

My first thought would be to check if the surface of the shoe is not particularly well attached to itself. If the foundation is not strong, the paint will flake off.

Also, it might help to know what kind of shoe it is. I've painted character shoes with Angelus before, and that held up through dancing. However, it's not going to survive something like a leather ballet slipper, so that'd be something to check out.

I'm also going to go back and revise the tutorial, because I think it tells you to put on more paint than is strictly necessary. These are some black shoes that I painted with just a couple of layers of metallic bronze. I wear these daily, and the shoe is wearing off on the toe, but it's not cracking. I think all the white primer is probably necessary if you're going to a very bright color, but if you're painting a dark color over black, it'll be less obvious if the paint wears off if the under color was black.

The glitter top coat also is more likely to flake than regular paint, because it's less flexible, so that might also contribute to it. I put entirely too much glitter on the purple shoes in the tutorial. While I did wear one of those shoes to SacAnime, I wasn't walking for that con, so I don't have a good example of how they wear.

I've used Angelus quite a lot in theatrical stuff, which usually doesn't involve water. I've worn these shoes pictures above quite a bit in water, so I don't know if that's the case. Theatrically, we use Angelus sometimes to hold cracking surfaces back onto the shoe, by applying a thick enough coat that the parts trying to come off are stuck together and stuck to the shoe.

If I can get some more information about what kind of shoe and how your paint was applied, I'd like to update the tutorial with this information, so that other people don't have this problem.

Friend wants to have demonia style boots but doesn't have the money or availability. Alt and goth fashion used to be diy and cheap. How could she do this now? Please share for reach and community knowledge in general cause the monetization of alt fashion is horrible

(Australian if that matters but all info will help honestly)

DIY procrastinating is so funny because not only will you procrastinate doing this thing you actively wanna do for no reason, you will then also start doing ANY project other than the one you actually desperately want to work on. Suddenly those shoes look mighty paintable and you will invent 5 new ways to fuck up pants just to not get started on that fucking jacket

Today on "If you desperately want something, do it yourself": Gear Five Shoes

They were certainly an experience to draw and I took a big risk using pretty pricey Levi's shoes. I did not trust myself to paint Luffy's face again so well (it's a miracle I managed the first time) so it's a mismatched pair but I quite like it. Done with posca pens. The quality of the pics is not really good but the purple is metallic so they look pretty cool and shiny. Just in time for a convention at the end of March

how we feeling about the patched up booty shorts (click for full pic)

I took a pair of old highwasted jeans and cut them into shorts, made all the patches myself and then sewed it all together :) really excited to wear them throughout the summer

DIY Bat Shoe Wings made with duct tape, scissors, white pen, and pen knife.

Make a big sheet of duct tape by laying it out and making sure the creases face different ways so its less flimsy.

Then use white pen to draw out your bat wings template. Use your shoes to mark out the holes. Then cut out the holes with a pen knife and check if they fit. Wipe off pen with a lil acetone and qtip. Lace onto your shoes and ur good to go!

Throwback to covid when I made sun and moon themed shoes (yes sun and moon from fnaf)

(Sorry for the bad background but I literally found them in my closet like a minute ago and remembered they existed)

Hi guys! Feel free to ignore this cuz it’s a shameless promo please don’t tho!

I’m trying to start a business customizing shoes!

I have so much fun making the shoes, and it would be amazing to share with people and possibly make a bit of money off of it!

Here’s a video of a pair of shoes I made for myself

I have an Instagram and TikTok under the name lacedbyatlas, so if this is something that interests you or that you would want, feel free to contact me! I’ll take custom requests- feel free to ask for something completely different than what I’ve made for myself!
