I add embellishments to existing shoes. I haven't taken anything apart yet though it will soon come to that. For now my modifications have been by addition only. Any idea on how long it will take before I can post pics?

Hello and welcome Alex. Modify shoes interesting. In what way?

Colored soles and chain embellishments thus far. Pictures will be posted once I have permission (from this site) to do so. I would love to make them from start to finish but time and circumstances dictate that I only modify what others have made for now.

I would use a mole skin to conceal the screw heads. If that isn't available you could also try using band aids to cover them. I would suggest the padded bit being glued over the screws individually. Depending on how you distribute the spikes over the heel the tertiary (word of the day FTW!) option is to just put one of those heel grips over them. The heel grip I used (for a separate project) had a bit of a lip to help hold the heel into the shoe and to prevent chafing. Hope this helps.

I always feel awkward writing these sort of things. It feels kind of like a cross between writing a personal ad and a group therapy session. Well, here goes nothing... My name is Alex Jonas and I am in the Boston area of Massachusetts USA. I modify shoes. I have done two pairs of heels thus far with two more on the way. I will post pictures when I am allowed. I look forward to the education I hope to gain from all of you! Thank you for putting together such a wonderful site!
