Mizzie Modifies:DIY Fashion – Painted Shoe Sole, Christian Louboutin Style
Step One: Find a pair of heels that have a worn sole or you can do this to a brand new pair of heels. I chose a vintage pair of gold heels from Bloomingdale’s.
Step Two: You will need some masking tape and a small can of spray paint in the color of your choice.
Step Three: Tape off the top of the shoes. Basically put the tape anywhere you don’t want to get paint on.
Step Four: In a well ventilated area simply spray a light coat of the spray paint onto the bottom of the shoes. It really only takes one or two coats. Aw look how pretty.
Step Five: My shoes had some damage on the toe strap that needed to be fixed. I repaired them by stitching the tear together and then gluing it to reinforce the strap. But I was left with this unattractive scar on the leather. Soooooo….
I went out and purchased these gold flower broaches and pinned them over the scar and……. .
voila! Good as new,maybe even better?
Mizzie Modifies Tips: Try colors like hot pink, of course red, purple or yellow spray paint. This modifies in particular is one I would love to see photos of. Will you send me photos of your newly painted shoe soles?
Happy Modifying!

Love it! Great idea!!
Thanks Melissa! If you try it yourself, make sure to send us a photo.
Looks Fab. -Might even try it myself…..Mx
Love the idea, love the nail polish too! What is it? (if you don't mind me asking)
The nail polish is by Essie. I'm not sure the name of the color but it is a new one. Looks a little more green in the bottle.
How long did the soles stay gold for and would you recommend a specific type of spray paint?
They look great, well done!
They wear like any other sole. I just used a spray paint from hobby lobby. Glad you like.
