Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

The majority of what I do is completely custom work. Feel free to message me with any requests or ideas that you may have. The pricing for customization depends on the price of the base shoe (if I have to purchase it but you are also welcome to send me shoes) and the complexity of the design you would like.

Sizing details

Shoes: The sizes in all the brands that I use are very standard. You are more than welcome to go try on shoes at a store or send me shoes that you would like me to paint to make sure they fit! Let me know if you have any questions about specific brands or sizes. Vans work well if you need wide shoes. My orders are usually for Vans, Converse, and Toms but definitely not limited to those brands! You are more than welcome to ask me about whatever brands you would prefer and I can let you know if they are paintable and pricing. I can paint most materials.

Care instructions

Shoes: Spot clean when needed. If you need to wash them you can send them through the washing machine then let them air dry. This is the case for most of the shoes. As long as the base shoe can handle being washed the paint will be fine (Vans, Converse, etc are fine). If the base shoe cannot be washed than you will need to just spot clean the shoes.

In case it isn't obvious... do not bleach.

Cups: Handwash only
