Shoes are painted with high quality acrylic paint then sealed with an acrylic sealer which makes them permanent, water resistant and durable. The shoes pictured are keds lace ups but i can paint them on any shoe in the drop down option menu (prices vary). The art might be a little different based on the shape and style of the shoe, but we can work together to see what works best for you i’m open to changing the art up (price may vary due to detail). Please message me before purchasing off brand shoes to check for availability. Enter shoe size in personalization area as well as teacher’s name. Be sure to include mens or womens with the shoe size. Every shoe is made to order so there will be variances in color, size, etc. But i work hard to make sure each shoe is exactly how you want. I recommend only spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The rubber along the bottom sides of the shoe can be cleaned with shoe cleaner, mild soap, etc. Just make sure you try to avoid scrubbing the artwork : if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
