Nothing to do on a cold Saturday afternoon in June?
One option would be to leave the house and hit the shops..... another would be to jump online and design your own pair of shoes. Yes you read right, design your own shoes.
Shoes of Prey are a unique e-store that offer their customers the opportunity to design their own shoe. The process is simple, the shoes are very reasonably priced and best of all it's fun!
You start by selecting the shoe style. You can pick from ballet flats, heeled sandals, sling backs, ankle boots, oxford flats, wedge or party heels. Then you are guided through a process of customising each element of the shoe through fabric, colour and decorative elements like flowers, bows or open toes.
They have a great gallery of shoes created by other people (which you can also buy) that will give you some inspiration if you don't know what you want. One of the features that we like a lot, is that you can customise the size of your heel from 1.5 inches right up to 6 inches.
Things we love about Shoes of Prey:
- You can order 5 samples of different leathers for $15 to check out the finish before you purchase.
- They can make an extra wide or extra narrow shoe if need be.
- They have a great "inspiration" box that pops up as you design to give you ideas
- Amazing return policy: 365 days post purchase
- Free shipping world wide
- No shoe over $350
- They wont copy pictures of shoes... so its not about ripping off other designers
- Best of all, its a fun way to shop for shoes
To get you inspired here are our top 5 shoes from the gallery:
1.Heeled Sandal designed by Carla (a committed Shoes of Prey shopper):
2. Fashion Sandal designed by Romance was Born:
3. Ballet Flats designed by Jade:
4. Ankle boots designed by Wendy
5. Sling Backs designed by Shopper Concierge
Of course, you can design something more on the plain side but why not have a little fun?
The only thing we don't like about this site is that it takes 4 weeks to deliver, but I guess that's fair given they are hand made.
So next time you need a shoe to match a specific outfit or if you have nothing else to do, why not try Shoes of Prey
Enjoy!
