Customize Shoes with Spray Paint and Sugru

Step 11 Men's Shoe

I used a pair of my husband's old Converse that were about to get tipped into the trash, so some of this is specific to these shoes.

Dye the shoes with black fabric dye following the instructions on the pack.  Ideally, do this twice and allow to dry.  Dyed shoes are hard to get truly black.

Apply Shoe Goo where the fabric is separating from the sole and use a bulldog clip to clamp the materials together.

Roll 1 packet of Sugru into a ball and cut in half.  Shape a cone out of each half and smoosh onto the toe of the shoe.  Shape the cones into horns.  Allow to cure for 48 hours and sand.  I did not add treads because the traction was already solid on these shoes.

Tape off the fabric of the shoe and paint black and red similar to Step 9.  Allow to cure for 48 hours.

Note:  I got a nice glossy shine without having to apply a clear coat.  If yours is dull, apply a clear coat and allow to cure for 48 hours.

Since it's difficult to get reds to match...  Attach two large bulldog clips to either end of a shoelace and hang one end in the air.  The other bulldog clip will weigh the lace down and prevent it from blowing around.  Spray paint the shoelace the same red color you used for the shoe.  While the lace is still slightly tacky but the paint is not coming off onto your skin, lace the shoes.

Done!
