Awesome and original style you create yourself!
I'm not the original person to post this idea of Comic Shoes. I just found the idea here recently but only as "Versions". However, the "Versions" inspired me enough to make my own and because I can't find any "How to"s on Comic Shoes I decided to make one myself for everyone! It's the coolest thing ever! :D Enjoy!

You Will Need

Step 1
You will need:
Comic/Comics of your choice (Archie for me!)
Mod Podge (I never knew about this until I decided to do this project. It's glue and finish in one. So you paste it all over the place and everything turns out glossy. If you're living in Australia like me, you can get some from the art & craft shop "Riot". I got this small bottle for about $7, larger bottle was about $17)
If you don't have Mod Podge just use glue I suppose
Scissors
Paint brush
And cheap plain shoes of your choice. I chose fake connies! Down from $12 to $8 bucks in K-mart. SCORE!! (This is not a common occurrence! lol) -
Step 4
Get some 'comic' and paint mod podge on the back of it. If the mod podge you just applied to the shoe is starting to dry slop some more on the shoe. Then put the comic on the shoe where you like. Smooth it down GENTLY with your fingers (but do it well so it sticks good lol). You will probably have to cut bits off your comic to make it fit on the shoe. Here I had to cut a curve out of the top. This was the hardest part about making the Comic shoe. Shaping the comic to fit. But you'll live.

Step 5
Here we go about 15min later with second comic piece ... fail ... lol.
I now admit it is my first time doing anything like this and Mod Podge....
I'm proud :)
****I've painted a thin strip of mod podge between the comic pieces to make sure they all stick together. Do not paint over the rest of the comic yet.

Step 8
And yay! After around an hour the whole thing is done..... OR you are putting your new awesome shoes on a shelf to dry...
They look awesome anyways!!
Well, as much as I'd like to I'm not going to try to wear them until tomorrow. I want the glue to fully dry and I don't want anything to peel off etc (gahh... scary!!!). Well wish me luck. Hopefully these will last a while! :D Though I don't expect them too.
