Super Spiked Heels

I need this. I have several plain black pairs of boots and shoes that could use this modification.
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Have you considered using a skinny patent leather belt instead? It would already have buckles and if they didn't look right their easily removable.

Your version is better than the others!!! Xx

These are so adorable!

One day i will try this, So much talent hun. You did an amazing job.

Hi Paola M.! Did you read the above tutorial? In Step #2 I detailed where to get the straps. Places that supply to shoe school students or the leatherworking/show trade may sell it in small amounts, but it's pretty much impossible to get elsewhere. Hope that helps!

Hiiii. where did you buy the shoe straps?

These are STUNNING! and I think look even better than the Designer ones. Pfff... DIY for the win, eh? xx

Thanks Jaeliniewinnie!

I wish I could walk in heels! If I tripped in these I'd probly wind up stabbing my self somehow!!!
They look amazing though, and I totaly want a pair!

*Rachie Homemaker*: Thank you! (Though in my case summoning the dedication to document the process and then make a tutorial from it added hours on to the project time!
Thanks for your comment!

now THIS is dedication. :-D

DarkAshHurts: Thank you so much! (The Bordello shoes were pretty freakin' amazing to begin with; it wasn't all me.;-) Yeah, someone else was like, oh just have them done in China, sell them here and get rich! And I was like - um...I'm no Steve Madden. (heh heh heh) Plus I really don't want to get slapped with a huge lawsuit! Being just a single person working on these in my spare time...it took me like 5 hours to DIY the pair...over a period of a couple weeks...I'd want to charge the same price as the originals in order for it to be worth my time!
Thanks for your comment!

Those are absolutely fantastic. And better than the designers! Beautiful.
I'd freakin love a pair of my own...but i'd fall flat on my face. lol
You should make a lot & sell them like a designer.lol $$$*wink*$$$

Thank you Serpentira! I was thinking of how to get that texture on the toe box, and I wasn't about to use Swarovskis due to the cost like the original. At first I thought heat-set round studs, but again, that's costly and labor-intensive. I needed something that would create a 3D effect, and I remembered back to my childhood where I used Scribbles paint to paint on t-shirts - and how I would hate the stiff, 3D effect. So I thought, why not try it on these? They turned out better than I had hoped! Hope you try something like it - I'd love to see!
Thanks for your comment!

I absolutely love those shoes! With my luck I'd probably trip and stab myself with a spike though lol
They turned out so well... I'm rather tempted to try something like them. The fabric paint part is probably one of the neatest bits though, in my opinion- it looks pretty amazing, and definitely leaves room for lots of fun (rainbow glitter anyone?) You do some of the neatest projects

Thank you M.a.r.i.s.o.l!
The great thing about these is that you can totally customize how you want with the studs and everything! Have fun with your version!
Thanks for the comment-

wooow this is super cool!

Thanks Mi.ezekatze! (Well, I didn't make the shoe itself - just added some straps, spikes, and texture! Making the shoe from scratch would have been way more of an undertaking LOL!)
Thanks for your comment!

HOLY CRAP! I can't BELIEVE that you actually made those! This is... Whoa! They are darn sexy, now I want a pair of those too. ^^

Thanks Dayi! Walking in heels is like anything - it comes with practice!;-)

Those shoes are beyond cool

This was a really cool idea! I'm glad there are others in this world who appreciate fashion but don't always buy into the ridiculous prices!

You did an amazing job on those shoes!

thje ones you have DIY 'd are better than the originals in my opinion - gorgeous.

Thanks Nesse13 and Noelia Citaalin!
I appreciate you taking the time to comment!:-D

Carly

WOW! Badass!!!!

LOVE IT!!!! brilliant idea!!!!!!

Haha Haylee S.! It's the platform I think that makes it so sexy - the rest of the shoe says "get the hell away from me!" It's dangerous!;-P
Thanks for your comment!

Those are the straight up sex!

Thanks michelle G. - didn't even know Outsapop had featured my tutorial!
So nice of you to say, Vicky Ninja! I think black will go with more things than the gold designer version.
Thanks Tine! But the platform maryjanes were only $60...so I guess I could just buy them again if I wanted to and wear them as is! Bordello shoes are really hot!
Thanks YaoichouTM! (Why can't you wear heels?) Well, they're definitely not for everyday!;-)

Thanks for all your comments!
