Have you ever wished that you could custom design your own shoes? I certainly have and I’m excited to tell you that I had the chance to actually do this recently.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen a shoe and thought. Oh, if only it was a different ____ (fill in the blank – color, size, height, heel, material, etc). Well I am here to tell you that now you can design your own shoes!
How to Design Your Own Shoes
The process starts with an iPad and a 3D Designer program. You start with the style of the shoe that you would like.
I really wanted a wedge shoe for spring and summer travel. Something with a little heel, but not too high. So I started the process there. Once I selected the style, it was time to decide on which material to use. This was a little tough because there are so many colors and materials to choose from.
Luckily, with a little help from the Nordstrom stylest in the department, I opted for a navy leather.
Then I actually get to pick what style of heel of which I want. I wanted a bit of a lower wedge so that it would be comfortable for travel. Now I could have ordered cork or this cute polka dot style here, but I decided to change it up.

WOW! I would go crazy for this. And by the way, the shoe department at Nordstrom has always been my weakness. It is that good. I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before because it’s so brilliant.
Raquel says
It is that good! I agree Tamara, it seems like Shoes of Prey are definitely setting a trend.
Ann says
Those are so cute! I’m going to have to head down to Fashion Island!
Raquel says
You should definitely go Ann! I just love the concept of being able to make them just for me and there are so many great styles.
Jamie says
What a fun experience!!! I’m wondering what I would design now…. I like the Wedges a lot…
Raquel says
There are SO many choices…I am really happy with them and I love that I got to design them.
