Methods:

I reconstruct shoes, for this I take a shoe with stitching on the sole, take it apart and rebuild it from the ground up giving it utmost durability. I always make shoes with durability in mind, so for that reason I don’t make shoes that don’t have stitching on the soles, examples of this would be Foam Rubber shoes(Air Maxes), vulcanized shoes(Vans) and AJ2s and up. My golden rule is “I can make any shoe as long as it has stitching on the sole” so if you want me to make a shoe model I haven’t done yet, I’m down to do it as long as it goes along with my golden rule. In rare moments I do make shoes without stitching but those are for my personal collection or for friends/customizers who could fix any breakdown if that were to happen.

Here’s a small picture to illustrate(click to enlarge):

Steps before placing order:

Before working on a shoe, I ask the customer what he would like on the shoes, colors, materials, images, stitching, liner graphics, amount of padding wanted, etc. After talking this out, I make a make a PSD template of the shoe before doing anything. When template is ready, Ill send it out the customer, where he can change something if he doesn’t like it, and this will go back and forward until we reached an agreement on the template. Then I will take the payment and then buy all the materials needed. I DO NOT WORK WITHOUT BEING PAID FIRST. I learned that the hard way in the past.

Time:

It depends, if I had all the time in a day, then I could make a shoe within one/two days, but Im a full-time college student and I have a part time job so that is almost never the case. So if you order from me expect it to be done within 2-4 weeks. My prices include the shipping and paypal fees. I normally don’t make custom boxes, I’m just not interested in that, shoes are meant to be worn but that might change in the future, if so there might be an increase in price.

Shipping:

I ship out shoes via USPS Priority Mail with tracking and insurance included. Double boxed to protect it from damage.
