Art and Sole

I love the unexpected: twist endings to books.  Surprise parties.  Fruit slices in salads that look like pears, but turn out to be a chayote.  (That was surprising!)

For this reason, I also love unexpected soles on shoes.  There’s something about turning around and BAM!  What was that?  That was awesomeness, right there.

Maybe it’s glitter!  I’ve done DIY glitter heels before (see how-to here!), but maybe you don’t have the time to do it yourself, and maybe you don’t want glitter all over your house… for the rest of your life.  Problem solved!



Stickers!  In four colors!  Pick your favorite and apply the whole thing to the sole, or do stripes of glitter, or hearts, or letters and spell out a message… the possibilities are endless.  Available in black, red, gold, or silver; find them at Pretty Pink Toes for £6.99 (which is running just under $11 US).

Maybe you’ve always wanted Louboutins, but can’t afford them.  Be fiscally responsible and cheat! 



These stickers will tide you over until you can have the real thing.  Also comes in purple, bright pink, purple with white polka dots, and pink with white polka dots; your choice for €5.99 (which is about $8 US).

But now, the sole decals to end all sole decals—I give you some of the many designs from ArchTags!  Example #1: Peacock feathers! ($14)





Example #2: Deep space! ($15)



Example #3: Argyle! ($15)



Example #4: The Union Jack!  ($14)



Example #5: BLING! ($23, and also available in other colors)




So don’t leave your soles as blank canvases—make them as awesome as you!
