Having Fun Making Shoes! Catskill Forest High Top Canvas Shoes

For the past month I’ve been recovering from Covid and haven’t had enough energy to get back into painting just yet. So instead, I got on my computer and started experimenting with designing and printing my art on a variety of materials.

I’m experimenting with lots of materials (including traditional fine-art prints), but my shoe experiment has been an early success so I thought I’d share them in case anyone is interested in owning a pair or gifting them for the holidays.

Catskill Forest Women’s High Top Canvas Shoes
$84.00

Classic high top canvas shoes with a padded collar. The print is based an oil painting I did of a wooded area in the Catskill Mountains.

These shoes are made especially for you as soon as you place an order. This means it may take a bit longer for them to be delivered. The shoes I ordered took about 10 days to arrive from the day of purchase, but times may vary depending on the time of year. Also, because the shoes will have just been made, there is a glue-like smell when opening the box. However the smell disappears in about 24 hours after being unpacked.

Creating shoes on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction.

I found a company that would make high quality shoes for me and gave them a try. The print came out great and the shoes are actually, very well made. I especially like the padded collar at the top which makes them more comfortable than any other high top shoe I’ve owned. I ordered my normal shoe size and they ended up fitting great and were comfortable.

I’ll be sharing more of my prints as I get them!
