When I lived in San Francisco in love with the city, I had the golden gate bridge drawn on my converse. In the United States, to customize your shoes it is often enough to ask for it in stores. There are one or more artists who create the pattern of your choice on demand. But in France it is more unique and therefore often very expensive. That’s why I looked for DIY ideas, to do it yourself. Here is how to customize your shoes yourself in 10 ideas.

How to customize your shoes: laces
I have already done this a thousand times with a pair of Bensimon: replace the laces with bolduc (available on Amazon). It’s fun but not very solid. So this idea is only good for things where you won’t have to re-tie your laces every time you put on your sneakers.
However, if you want to add color to your shoe in this way, you can use tape. It will be more resistant.

Also, if it is a slip-on, you can personalize the front with a few tassels like the “tassel loafer” moccasins for men.
