Build Your Own Shoes: Getting Started

This first step when you create your own shoes is to select the silhouette.

When you custom-make your own shoe, you have the choice of a variety different toe options, strap options, 4 different heel shapes, 8 different heel sizes and a multitude of fun embellishments.

As you build your own shoe, you can easily switch it up to explore what you like best. Made to order shoes are just a few clicks away. When you design your own shoe you can express yourself as a fashion forward fashionista.

Customize Your Own Shoes

Once you have the silhouette selected, it’s time to have fun with color and material. While it’s important that every woman have the basics in her closet – black, brown and nude – it’s also important to have fun with color – you’ll find that purple is surprisingly neutral, you’ll find that maybe every woman also needs a pair of leopard pumps. Create a custom shoe design that is uniquely you.

As you create your own shoe, don’t be afraid to mix materials. Snakeskin and patent, leather and suede, silk and glitter -- think about the fun you can have with the texture of your custom shoe design. You can create your own shoes as a way to express yourself. As Coco Chanel once said, "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."

So go ahead, add that color you think might be “a bit much”. Try something new, something risky. You might be surprised and find the combination works in a delightfully unique way. With the shoebuilder, you can see your custom shoe design come to life.
