Details
This is a very special request gladiator shoes! Unfortunately we cannot duplicate the same design, but do a similar design with our renowned shoe designer. Not one design will ever look like another. Each design is custom made for one dancer and it's costume ensemble. This gladiator has a square design with a see-through reinforced plastic, so we can easily add stones in the inside portion. We sometimes will add smaller acrylics to the stones/crystals. We will work with your costume and your needs to advise the shoe designer what needs to be done.
About decorating the shoes: Customer pays for the shoes (chose gold or silver base - see the style below, (choose your heel size as well) and advises us what colored stones to use. Usually the colors are to match a specific costume or most dancers chooses a more neutral choice like silver mirrored crystals and bits of gold. We will use a carnival designer, with many years of experience adding stones & crystals to Diva and Queen samba shoes and costume making. The stones will not fall, unless you rub them against a hard surface. We advise not to wet the shoes for cleaning. Use flannel an lightly dust of the stones. For a deeper cleaning take them to a shoe repair shop that you trust. We will send you extra stones in an event they fall. You will work on a design with our shop costume director and the designer, but ultimately the designer has his own creation based on the information you give him about your costume colors or venue. We will send you as much photo as the carnival designer sends us!
It can take up to 2 weeks to have your shoes ready for decoration. Once shoes are ready, we send them to the carnival designer to add the stones; usually 10 days, then it's ready to be shipped, they are hand made!
