Shoes

Have you ever gone into a shoe store and they have the shoes you like it's just not the right color? Well, I end up buying the shoes and color it myself. I go to a local hardware store and buy spray paint and then I tape off certain parts of the shoes and I spray paint the areas that are still exposed. If the paint comes off, all I have to do is spray it again. Repeat if necessary.

Wow I've never heard anyone ever doing this. When I go to a shoe store, I'm sure they'll have a pair that I like so I'm just going to buy them. I would never spray paint my shoes. Especially when I pay 160-200$ for each pairs.

I don't believe I've done this before. I have experienced seeing the shoes I like but not the right color. Sometimes I still end up buying it and just think of buying a wardrobe that goes with it.

I've never done that. I've always found a pair of shoes I like as they are. I'm not fussy when it comes to shoes anyway.

Mom told me never to talk to strangers, and you're pretty strange.

Nope, I've never done that. If they don't have the color I like, I may just suck it up and buy them anyways. I wouldn't want to ruin them by spray painting them either.

Well most the shoes I buy are black and every shoe style comes in black so I never have to worry about that. I've heard of using a marker to darken in certain areas but I think spray painting expensive shoes is a little crazy, but hey at least your same pair of shoes can be a different color every week!
