Get The Technique
For my niece's 8th birthday we decided to customize a pair of Converse sneakers for her. Converse has a great website that allows you to choose almost every detail of the shoes, right down to the color of the stitching and embroidering your name. For Molly, it was all about neon and as much color variety as she could get. Designing them was really fun—the options you choose are reflected in the shoe image on screen. It is even more fun when they arrive in the mail a few weeks later. I think the end result was quite cute.
1 Start with a blank canvas. There are other shoe styles to choose from as well.
2 You can make 14 different choices to personalize your shoes.
3 Molly sporting her new sneakers
4 You can have your name embroidered on as well.
5 She opted for a different color on each side.

My husband and I are big fans of the slip on canvas Chuck Taylors (and he wore the high top chuck taylors for our wedding last year), so I just sent him an e-mail offering him a custom pair for his birthday.
Thanks for posting this!

That's both my daughters' Xmas presents sorted then, and perhaps my grandson's too!
