I'm a sucker for a simple project. This little shoe makeover took me about 15 minutes, but gives my thrifted shoes a new and improved feel. If you've been following this blog for a while it's now news to you that I'm a confessed thiftoholic. I also get most of my shoes second hand. The only down part about that is that unlike clothing, shoes are harder to clean, and who wants to wear old shoes when the insides look like they've been worn to pieces. So, with this pair of pretty flats I decided to change the insoles to give it a cleaner look and, more importantly, a cleaner feel.
The process was super simple and quick:
Just take out the insoles, use one of them to trace a sole pattern, and cut out new insoles from fabric. Then use an adhesive to glue the new insoles into the shoe, and you're done. It's as easy as pie!
I did this too but always wondered how to make it accurate. Silly me never thought of peeling the insole off! Thanks for the tip :-)

DeleteLove, love, love all the color....like a bouquet at your feet! Now those shoes will look just as pretty sitting in your closet as they do while wearing! Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was a little bit hesitant about putting in floral insoles into floral shoes, but I really love the colorful look as well. Thanks, Martha!
DeleteEheh, I'm also a sucker for easy projects... and recipes for the matter! :) This is a great idea.
