Customising Shoes

Mrsdsoon, 11 October, 2013 at 11:01 Posted on Planning 0 14

Hoping some of you lovely ladies can help please. I have bought these shoes and they go fabulous with my dress (short tea length) my issue is they are not very wow. I have bought 5 pairs to date and have not found anything to suit, and these are so comfortable. Im concerned because im very much a heels girl and everyone knows me for my high heels but these shoes look very boring ! im debating on adding some crystals to the heel... i have bought a hot fix tool to add them - has anyone done this before to a pair of heels ? any advice on anything else i could do to just make them a little more wow ?

Thank you Smiley smile x

    I think they are lovely as they are. I'd worry that adding crystals would make them look a little tacky but that is just a personal choice :-)

    This.

    They are lovely shoes as they are! If you do really want to add to them, how about some teeny tiny pearls? They'd be more subtle than crystals. Howver if crystals are your thing, bling them up! Your wedding, your shoes, your choice! Smiley smile x

    Leave them as they are. Adding crystals looks tacky, and is so overdone.

    If you want to add bling you could add a broach or shoe clip to each, you can try it first to see how it looks without glue and if you pick a nice antique style broach you could keep it looking classy

    good placement could be the outside of the heel like this:

    or toe like this:

    or outer toe like this:

    or heel back like:

    Going at these shoes with a hot tool will only end in disaster. They are beautiful shoes with plenty of wow but I do agree if you want to add more a shoe clips is the way foreward (reversible if you dont like it!)

    I wish I could walk/stand in shoes this tall!!

    I've been looking at these shoes too and I absolutely love them but I doubt that I'd last very long in them with that heel. I think they're gorgeous as they are but if you want to add to them then I'd think about maybe just adding some little pearls of crystals to the lacy bit.

    I noticed these in Next and love them!! How are they to walk in? I'm tempted to buy them. Although I haven't looked around at any other shoes - should I before deciding? I hate making decisions lol in case I regret it (so go knows how I'm currently planning this wedding lol!)

    I now make shoe clips if you're looking for some inspiration on how to dress up plain shoes. I have some designs here but can make others to order too.

    Mrsdsoon, you could try adding a little pearl clip on top of the lace if you want more decoration? But I'd agree with the others, nothing too big as they look nice already.
