Frequently Asked Questions

1. How are the shoes painted and what paint is used?

Ans: The shoes are painted using fine needles to inject ink into the shoe like a tattoo as well as using fine brushes to paint certain parts. Acrylic Paint is used so that the shoe will be waterproof.


2. Will the colours fade off?

Ans: In most cases, the colours do not fade off as acrylic paint is waterproof. The paint may fade off if u have done something to it or you rub the surface hard against something rough.


3. Can I wash the shoes?

Ans: Yes. You can. As you can see below, I have washed a pair of my shoes and the colour still remains the same.







4. What kind of shoes can a design be painted on?

Ans: I paint shoes of canvas material, other than that, I will have to see what kind of material it is made of. Simplyshoes has moved on to paint shoes by adidas and nike as well! Acrylic paint can be painted on many types of surfaces.


5. How much are the designs?

Ans: The prices of designs varies. For pumps that I paint on the prices range from $18-$30 or even more. And for sneakers(Northstar), the prices ranges from $40-$80 or even more. All prices include shoes.


6. How long does it take for a pair of shoes to be completed?

Ans: The process of drawing and painting on the shoe is fast. It takes between 3 hours to 2 days. It is the process of deciding on the design and confirming the order that takes up the most time in most cases.


7. How do you get your shoes?

Ans: You will get your shoe either by meeting up (certain places only, mainly north area.) or by post (a charge will be added for postage ranging from $3.00 to $5.50 which includes transportation cost). Meet up or post will have to be confirmed first so that payment can be made at one go. Extra charges for transportation will be incurred if the meet us is out of the way.


8. How long does it take to get my shoe?

Ans: It will take no longer than 2weeks to receive your shoe if you are getting it by post, which is highly recommended. Meet ups may take a longer time as my schedule is packed and it may be hard to match with yours. The time taken begins from the time payment is received.
