Custom Design Shoes
These are custom designed and handmade leather sandals. I was contacted to Design and make a pair of stiletto's in honor/memory of Katie Marie Socci . These were auctioned off at the Socci Stiletto Stampede event in Liverpool, NY. I was told that Katie loved leopard print and hot pink, she also had a tattoo of an Orange Tiger Lily. Using these descriptions I came up with 14 different sketches/design ideas giving the clients the opportunity to choose which design they felt was most reflective of Katie's personality. As for details,I made an extra pair of Orange "lily-esque" clips-ons which I hand-painted to be worn on the shoe or in the hair. The leather outsole was also handpainted with her initials KMS. It took 3 months to make from design to finished product. Depending on the project the time can vary.

For Tim's German National Team Sneakers4.8The final product wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it was close enough to make me happy, and to make my friends envious of my epic custom-made sneakers. Ambrosia was a pleasure to do business with, and kept me up-to-date with the progress of my sneakers.
