Coloured shoes

I 'd like to show you some of my works on shoes:

I worked on lot of brands: CJ, Lobb, Emling, Markowski, Grenson, Paraboot, Loding, Bexley, Altan, Trickers...

My inspirators are Corthay, Altan, Berluti, Stefanobi.

The box can be black, dark brown, chestnut or pale vegetal. I use professionnal means like avel, saphir cream and polish.
I'll tell you more if you're interested.

Im not so hip on the blues but the rest are fantastic!

Blue is a good exemple because few brands sell fine GY blue shoes. My favourite colors is burgundy anyway.

Thanks

Nice work. Do tell us more.

Regards

Hello and welcome,

thanks for providing pictures.

Do you work with shoes on a regular base?

good leather really soaks up the saphir colored creams I have a BB peal C&J wholecut that I got tan and i've been polishing it to a reddish color, and it looks great (in my opinion). these shoes would make for a great home tanning job: C&J pennys: http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP..._color=Natural I wish I had purchased them when they were on super 70% off clearance for !150ish.

I started about a year ago with a standard box, kind of pale cognac.

My first color was a green bronze. Then I continued by customizing my own shoes. I showed my works on a forum and then I had clients since about 8 months.

I'll work for a new brand in about a month but I'll trie to continue my work on other brands.

I work on every box, I have to remove all creams and polish first with acetone or terebenthine.
Then I use special shoe paint "teinture aux drapeaux" AVEL. I combined red blue yellow and black. It depends on what I want to do.

I finish with coloured creams such as blue navy, burgundy, red, khaki, green... I polish the shoes with appropriate polish: burgundy, blue, black, yellow, uncolored...

Thanks for welcome

I agree. With this kind of box, you can do nearly everything.

+1. I'm pretty unadventurous in shoes colour-wise, but I can certainly appreciate these.

Very nice work.

Very creative.
