Has the thought of creating your own shoes ever cross your mind? I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a fan of the idea of designing and customization, so when I found out that you can design your own shoes with Shoes of Prey, I knew I wanted to experience this unique opportunity. I love shoes like most women but I always found myself wanting to tweak a certain feature here and there because I do think all of our feet are different so some shoes fit better than others depending on the style. This experience solved all my shoe problems since I had full control of what I wanted in terms of style, color, texture, materials, etc.

The process of customizing your own shoes with Shoes of Prey is extremely easy and fun to say the least! I decided to go for a classic black bootie styled shoes because this is what I normally go for the in the fall. I also wanted to make sure that I would get the most wear out of it, so black seemed to be the obvious choice of color. I went for the Mercer 55 design and I don’t regret it at all because they look even better in person! I was extremely surprised by how quick they arrived and the quality of the shoes is beyond my expectations. Some of the key elements and features I chose include:

  • Black Nappa Leather
  • Irish Cream Premium Leather Lining
  • Thick Block 2.2 Inch Heel
  • Black Nylon Zipper
  • Black Sole
  • Customized Inscription: MARIANN YIP

*Outfit Details: Shirt (MILLENIAL) | Skirt + Sweater (Laila Jayde)| Sunglasses (Yohji Yamamoto) | Earrings (Queenie Cao) | Bag (Ellia Wang)

I wore them for the shoot and they are extremely comfortable. If you can’t already tell, I’m in love with them and actually want to get another pair that might be more of a statement design. The best part is that you can follow the journey of the shoes as they are being produced. Here is also a quick video on the behind the scenes process. There are tons of options to choose from ranging from ballet flats, heels and boots so if you want to design custom made shoes that are unique to you and nobody else will have, definitely check out Shoes of Prey. I also have a code for free custom inscription, which is MARIANNYIP and is valued at $49.

Do you guys like my shoes? Would you be interested in having your own custom made shoes? I’d love to hear about your thoughts on Shoes of Prey!

I love this idea! I just ordered some shoes from Shoes of Prey too and I’ll have to admit they have so many styles and it’s so easy. Not only are the steps laid out for you, I love that you have options too. I love these fall booties. They are classic and you can keep them forever. The custom inscription is an amazing touch too. I love that you got your name on the shoes. xoxo, Christine

I agree that it was a tough decision because there were so many options. I didn’t know if I wanted to go with a classic styled shoe or more of a statement but as you see, I went for the classic one just because I felt like you can’t go wrong with black booties for the fall!

I love both the idea of customizing my shoes as well as how the final product looked on you! Combined with that amazing outfit you’ve really struck it big time with this shoot and look amazing! The shoes are not only customized, but they look comfortable and opt for what the slogan says “made for every-day-walk”.

What a great idea. How many times do you buy shoes because they are great looking but you cannot wear them two blocks.
I will definitely check this site out.

If there are two things I value most in terms of fashion, it’s definitely bags and shoes. I’m all about comfort so I was satisfied with these boots because I can walk in them all day!

They are super timeless!! The only downside is that they are made out of leather, and I try to avoid buying anything made with animal material.
Big hugs!!
