 Love, the eternal theme of human beings, is actually everywhere in the world. People find love, then love love, starting the most romantic journey in the life. However, shot by Cupid’s arrow, we cannot avoid hurt. In other words, love, sweet as it is, meanwhile it's inevitable to save from heartbreak. Anyway, love needs courage, and we need you to know there’s a such kind of aesthetic custom painted shoes we especially design for you sweet honeies. Of course, each pair has its own birth story, so this pair is related to Cupid, the God of Love.

In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus (goddess of love) and Mars (god of war). Venus was jealous of the beauty of Psyche, and ordered Cupid to punish the mortal. But instead, Cupid fell deeply in love with her. He took her as his wife, but as a mortal she was forbidden to look at him. As result, Cupid visited Psyche every night while she slept. Speaking to her so that she could not see him, he told her to never try to see him. Psyche, though, incited by her two older sisters who told her Cupid was sparcker [a monster], tried to look at him and angered Cupid. Cupid punished her by leaving her. Their lovely castle and gardens vanished too. Psyche found herself alone in an open field with no signs of other beings or Cupid. As she wandered trying to find her love, she came upon the temple of Venus. Wishing to destroy her, the goddess of love gave Psyche a series of tasks, each harder and more dangerous than the last.

Finally, Venus had one task left - Psyche had to give Pluto a box containing something Psyche was not to look at. Psyche's curiosity got the best of her and she looked in the box. Hidden within it was eternal sleep placed there by Venus. Cupid was no longer angered by Psyche and brought her from her sleep. The gods, moved by Psyche's love for Cupid made her a goddess. Together they had a daughter, Voluptas, or Hedone, (meaning pleasure) and Psyche became a goddess. Her name "Psyche" means "soul."

Nowadays, Cupid is the most famous of love symbols and everybody knows that boy armed with bow and arrows, and piercing hearts. According to this, designer in the Shoe My Color design studio wants to vivify the love, and he made the Cupid inspired couple slipons.
