Back in January I did a guest post for the lovely DIY blog A pair and a spare about my two toned heels. After my previous posts I got a few emails about the heels, so here's the tutorial on how I altered them!
Stripper heels?
I found these babies at a secondhand market. Their perfect shape struck me immediately and reminded me of a pair of pointy Jil Sander platform heels. Though their silver color in combination with their heel- and platform height made me doubt about the possibility for them to be part of a tasteful ensemble. Did they used to belong to a Spice Girl or a stripper? Yes the shiny silver had to go. Or at least half of it.
Materials
These heels are made out of a synthetic satin-like material. Special fabric paint would probably work best on cotton, canvas, velvet or any other real fabric coated shoes. For Leather shoes there are special leather paints for sale at any shoe maker. But this cheap material almost feels like woven plastic, a permanent marker was perfect for the job. Permanent marker also works like a charm on faux leather.
How to
Draw a line along the exact middle of the shoe with chalk. If you have a very steady grip draw along it immediately with the permanent marker. Else you can always stick a piece of tape along the line to avoid making mistakes. Then fill in all the color, remove the tape and Voila! Two tone heels!
I don’t care to which 1995-stripper, -Spice Girl impersonator or drag queen they used to belong, with this 15 minute alteration they became a nice addition to my shoe collection!

i saw your two toned shoes, they're awesome! you have the greatest DIY's xx
amazing, just as you !
is there written 'moda italiana' on the sole? i'm asking, becouse last week i bought similar ones in my local second hand shop (i'm from different european country). they are a bit darker, but the fabric seems to be the same. and their heels have a different shape - it looks even more like a stripper killer heel :D
This is suck a cool idea, I really wanna try it out ASAP! Silver and black are always good together. Nicely done!

Awesome! I was one of those curious ones from the other day, and I'm so glad you posted this! Quite the transformation, cause I have to say, in their pure silver state they really do look pretty hideous... But the final result is great. So impressed that you had that vision.

They look like cheap dollar store shoes that my 2 year-old brother colored in. I'm sorry but I hate them.
