I receive got wanted Doctor Who shoes for thus long.
I am certain you'll desire them every bit well!
(even my iv twelvemonth former boy asked if nosotros could pigment some "not girl" shoes for him)

I decided to become alongside a mismatched look...one side the Tardis,
the other consummate alongside bowtie!
Bowties ARE cool!

Here's what I did.
I institute some land jane shoes at the thrift store.
I went high terminate on this...ha ha, genuinely they did terminate upward costing almost 10 bucks!
Well, whatever...they were perfect for what I envisioned.

but these mistaken leather ones worked similar a charm!)
Also:
Spray paint/paint in addition to textile medium
plastic bags/painters record
Paint brushes/pallet of somekind

And a footling fun on the heels.

Prep the shoes for painting!

I used painters record in addition to taped the within border of the shoes...

filled them alongside plastic bags in addition to thus taped across the top.

I also taped upward the bottom edges, because I didn't desire to
pigment the bottoms...and it gives it that professional person "store bought" look.

I took them out to the garage in addition to spray painted them.
Very low-cal coats. I didn't desire drips or cracking.
I did nearly iii low-cal coats in addition to that gave me perfect coverage.

You could simply pigment them rather than spray...but
the spray pigment gives them a nice, fifty-fifty finish...perfect!

Allow the pigment to dry out to the touching on in addition to withdraw the record in addition to plastic.
Then allow them dry/cure for nearly 48 hours.

Now comes the fun of painting.
I used arts and crafts acrylic paints mixed alongside a footling textile medium,
which wasn't necessary.
I used a movie of the tardis for reference but yet wanted a sort of
sketchy rendition...so I complimentary handed it.
I used a white pen to score the places for the windows...
but I nicked it too...you tin run across where the pigment wore off...so live careful!

I painted correct across the stitching alongside no problems.
I was watching "Blink" during this...The Angels receive got the Phone box!

And the Police Public Call Box was just
freehand painted correct on the dark strip.

The accommodate shoe.
I used ane of my Valentines to freehand the suit.
I mixed my pigment on some wax paper.

I simply freehanded inwards sort of a rose white color (mixing colors)
I didn't desire it to await quite every bit pinkish every bit his shirt...

Added the jacket lapels in addition to sort of a sketchy tweed sports jacket look.
As good every bit some buttons inwards white...with some greyness shadows.

And some fun on the heels.

Painting done.
Now, accept those to your spray epitome landing pad in addition to clear coat them.
This volition move yesteryear away on them inwards pristine shape.
Allow them to cure over again nearly 48 hours.
