HOME OF THE ORIGINAL HAND EMBROIDERED WEDDING SHOES
Glide down the isle in style AND comfort. These customized canvas shoes are great for fall and winter brides, grooms, or memorable gifts for your bridal party. I can embroider high top or low canvas style shoes (think the side of any canvas shoes such as Converse, Keds, TOMS, or Vans) for women, men, and children although the size of the shoe will determine the size of the design. The price is based on a $10/hour fee + shipping your shoes back to you.
At this time, I am not taking any completely custom orders as life has gotten a bit busier than it was. I love making these shoes for you though so I have streamlined the process. You can now pick from the floss shades shown in the bottom photo and leave your wedding date in the "notes to seller" section upon checkout to personalize this design for yourself! No hassle, just good stitchy shoes for you and your wedding!

HOW TO ORDER:
This particular design features a central heart with "i do." and the date of your big day. Please only purchase this particular listing if you want the exact design shown in the photos here on the outside of both shoes. In the notes to seller section upon checkout, please include the following information:
–your wedding date wish it to appear. For instance, if you write your date in numerical form, that is exactly what you will get. (DOUBLE CHECK ALWAYS! I will be going off of what YOU provide so make sure it is right).
–your floss color choice from the floss chart I've provided here in the listing photos to the right. You may choose up to two (if you do, please specify which color should be used where).
Once you've purchased your order, I will send you the address so that you can send your shoes to me. You can also have them sent to me directly from wherever you are ordering which I know saves you time and money!
I do have a day job and attend grad school, so please allow up to 4 weeks (from when they arrive here) for your shoes to be returned to you via USPS 2–3 day Priority mail (they will come with a tracking number). If you need your shoes back on a tight turnaround, please convo me and I will see if I can squeeze you in or not. A $25 flat rush fee will apply.
If you would like to purchase insurance or perfer a different shipping method, just send me a convo, and I will adjust the listing for you accordingly. I do ship worldwide. Please just send me your address in an etsy convo before purchasing so that i may set up a listing with the proper shipping cost included for your destination.

FAQS
Q: Do you pick the shoes out?
A: No. You can pick any completely CANVAS pair of Converse, TOMS, Keds, Vans, etc. shoes so that you can get just the style, color, and size that you prefer best. Styles with glitter, leather, and other embellishments will not work for this.
Q: Why does it take so long to get a pair of shoes done?
I'm glad you asked! Every single stitch is done completely by hand and all the text is based on my own handwriting. There are no machines in this process or other helping hands, just my own two hands!
Q: Do you embroider TOMS?
A: Yes, I do! I do not, however, do embroidery on the toe area as the narrow design of the toe area is incredibly painful to work in. I can do all my designs on the side of the shoes just like any other though.
Q: Can you embroider on the back heel strip?
A: No, alas, it's a very labor intensive process that would give me arthritis at a young age if I offered this in my shop :) You can get it done via machine embroidery, a service which Converse offers when you purchase shoes from them.
Q: Can you place the design on the inside of the shoes?
A: I'm afraid not. Converse places two metal rivets on the inside of each shoes, so to streamline things, I do all my designs on the outside of each shoe. Each listing is priced to do the design on the outside of each shoe in 1 pair.
Q: Can I combine designs?
A: Not at this time. I hope that, when the craziness of grad school is over, I can offer this option again, but for the time being I can serve everyone better by keeping it simple. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to offering more options in the future!
