Shoesss!!

Doing the shoe project I hit alot of hurdles as I made my shoe through improvisation, My initial idea was to combine to shoes to make one, I set out firstly to find an inspirational shoe but stumbled upon 2 pairs that I found very inspiring and thats when the idea of combining the two hit me and I generating idea from then on:

These were my 2 shoes one is a court heel and the other is just the strap from the gladiator style 80's sandal, the sole is a thick, hard sole with a low heel. I had the brilliant idea of gluing the court shoe to the sole of the gladiator sandal and creating a new shoe layout.  Once I had started ideas began pouring to me like water from a tap!!
I can now admit that I struggled dearly putting the shoe together as I found it really hard and frustrating to use the glue gun normally without burning my fingers off!!  but overall I can say that I overcame that with a few burns! but at least I have a cool shoe that I may say I am very proud of. I think in my eyes the most successfull part of my shoe if portrayed in the fact that the sole looks like a converse sole which I did with no intention and then the gap that is created for me is very interesting and adds alot of quirkiness to the shoe!


I then began gluing beads, buttons, cardboard that inspired me and ending up with the result below:
