lethal steps









Another pair of shoes to add to the collection, but I'm sure this one wins in the "most lethal" department. I wore them out a few times already and people's eyes instantly drift to my feet. Then they quickly look away, probably thinking, "This girl is crazy. Don't make eye contact unless I want to get into a fist fight." These shoes kind of remind me of a large truck I once saw on the highway with these ultra-pimped rims. I let him pass me because his rims scared the living bejesus out of me. He was also rather menacing looking. OK, what was I talking about again?

Omg these are amazing!!!! They are a great DIY alternative to the Louboutin pair that I reckon will cost you an arm and a leg (versus a bloody finger or two). What kind of shoe did you use here? Was it relatively thin?

Sweet Chameleon said...

Those are amaaazing!!! Love them! Ooo and they double as a weapon - double sweet!

thischicksgotstyle said...

SO cool! :D
But how do you bend the ends of the studs / use the plier at the deepest point? Can you reach it?

thischicksgotstyle said...

ps. I think I'm becoming obsessed over how good your diy's are. Never seen them executed better and with more originality!

Amelia said...

Amazing! These look like they were professionally-made. I'd love to try something like this, but I'd be terrified of ruining the shoes.

Clara said...

Sooo cool. Remind me of the loubs sooo much. Must try thiss!

Vee said...

Sexy. I like how it has studs on the side too. Very dangerous :p

If that's their effect, then i need a pair just like them :)

Ljubica said...

haha, that's so funny.. people probably think you bought them as a weapon! come to think of it, they kind of are.. and i love them!

Shini said...

Duuude (dudess?) love that you put the studs in a glass cup. You know, here was me thinking studs and spikes are going out but i don't think that'll happen in a long time when you're coming out with diys like this. I love youu <3 (Oh btw, I'm wearing the craaaaaap out of your preety spikes+bedazzle necklace but never seem to get the opportunity to photograph it, its kinda sad. Well, just in case you're wondering :P)

Ilse said...

lol... I kind of missed out on the "bend the prongs fully inward" last time I studded one of my shoes.. not to be recommended!!

Phyllis said...

danmyy said...

Love this! This is so cool, I want to do a DIY too, but never have done anything with studs before! Maybe I should start, love your DIYS!

I thought about diy-ing a pair of these awhile back! But then I forgot about it and moved on to a handful of other unfinished project. Sigh. Such is the way I suppose. I'm really liking how you did yours!

Wow I love these shoes, such a great DIY! I recently discovered your blog and it is fantastic, all of your DIYs look so professional and the photography is great too.

I hope you don't mind but I loved your embellished tights so much that I used them in an inspiration post (of course I linked back to you) and am planning to make some before winter begins in Australia.

Those are amazing. I must put it on my diy to do list.

b. said...

i was wondering if....if it would be at all possible...for you to make another one of those lovely, absolutely stunning white sheer-feather shirts? i've adored it ever since laying eyes on it. i'd try to make my own, however i'm a single mom of a 5-year-old, which equals no time for DIY. i would be more than happy to buy it.
my birthday is friday! yay.
i'll be 26, ugh.
