homemade wedges

[Guest]

got tired of complaining, gave up the idea of high quality shoes, started making my own.

20 euro wedge sandals, duct tape, old sneakers i hadn't used in 3 years.

cut the straps off, taped the shoe to the wedge. voila!

...and if they rip, just duct tape them again!

They actually ok despite being made that way!

if these last longer than ricks i'll email them a "tip" on how to improve on their construction XD

[Farkhanyassin]

Ultimately, they look useable.

a waywt with these would be lovely lol... what sort of glue did u used for the sole? mind me asking

[Heirloom]

no glue for the sole. just tape. it works surprisingly well. i didn't wrap many times before it was stuck solid to the sole.

sweet! anyway, a part of me is expecting a whole lot of diy wedges from young bloggers in the next few months, like the whole diy shredded tee trend lol

Dude, love your dedication to the medge, but srsly. Take that straight to the WTF thread. Totally feel your pain on the ro quality issue with them but on the design front yours are light years away, no matter how long they may last ( not much longer is my guess).
wish you could get a pair that lasts. My wife can btw.

[Heirloom]

but it's FUN! ahaha. you take it too seriously.

[mrbeuys]

sorry for being a buzzkill... I know it's fun, and I know it's mad you went through 3 pairs of £700 shoes... like I said, wish the actual ones worked for you.

[Heirloom]

i do too. and the coming seasons shoes with fins and stuff aren't making it any easier for me :(

i went for a walk in my home made shoes, and could barely walk straight. A thought crossed my mind, as I was trying to find dignity and courage to walk in them amongst strangers. I realised I was being a martyr, but not fighting for religion, but for glamour. There's a real challenge in being made up from head to toe, barely being able to walk, and still remain dignified when tumbling over. You can't not smile. Cause if you dont, falling will be awkward. So these shoes forces me to be a better person to those around me.
