There’s nothing worse than having to grin and bear the backhanded compliment from a footwear-conscious frenemy: “I love your shoes! My friend has a pair just like them!”
Now we’re taking matters into our own hands with Zazzle’s Customizable Keds (US$60) and becoming our very own shoe designers. (Revenge is sweet; new shoes are sweeter.)
And while we may not give Louboutin a run for his money (yet), we’re definitely addicted to our new creative outlet. We simply choose the type of Ked we want (Lace up, Slip on or Mini Slip On) and then use their pre-loaded colours and patterns to create our very own look (or use the pre-fab templates for instant inspiration). From the laces to the sole, everything is made to order and delivered to our doorstep in four weeks. Best of all—we can even upload our own images, artwork and text, ensuring our new kicks are truly one of a kind (and eliminating any shoe doppelgangers).
So the next time a certain phrase rears its ugly head, we already have our answer ready:
“Actually, I’m pretty sure she doesn’t.”
