I have big feet (size 11US) and that can make shoe shopping a depressing thing. And forget getting shoes from the thrifts! But…I got lucky the a few months ago. I found these pink Via Spiga shoes for $4.99 at the Salvation Army.
I’m not in love with pink but the shoes were my size, $4.99, and leather. I bought them then looked for ways to make them wearable. In my Internet searching, I came across Sassy Feet. I bought their book and their starter kit. After painting the shoes and using thrifted glass beads and some jewelry wire on the buckle, those $4.99 babies look like this:
I’m in love now! And I’m really pleased with my first shoe-painting adventure! There will be more (adventures, that is).
