Studio Shoe My Color’s Creed, Be The Best Of Whatever We Are




Although Studio Shoe My Color is still younger than other studios in the same field, we indeed move on everyday, slowly and constantly. We keep it in mind that no matter how many mistakes we make or how slow we progress, we are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying. We are trying to enhance our customer satisfaction to a higher level, to design more stylish hand painted shoes for boys, girls, kids, and to create more romantic matching shoes for couples in love. Because we are want to Be the best of whatever you are, from Douglas Malloch.

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley---but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;

If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass——
And some highway happier make.

If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass——
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail——
Be the best of whatever you are!

This is a inspiring poem that I personally like best. The reason why I share it here is that it is exactly our Studio Shoe My Color’s creed we insist on. We should admit that we inevitably have some defects, however, the most appreciative thing is that we are willing to work harder than we do yesterday.      

How Did The First Pair Of Shoes Come To The World?




Now, shoes are one of the most common necessities in our lives. They can be versatile with fashion, comfortable and offbeat chic. Certainly, shoe also has its own history and it is the one who created the first shoe that we should give much credit to. At first, our brilliant ancestors used some methods to protect their feet from rocks, sand and harsh weather conditions, that’s the first pair of shoes in the world. This kind of shoes were made from animal fur, void of any style or shape. In this case, it can wrap around the foot to provide protection during cold weather.

Shoes History

Dating back to 3700BC, the first shoes worn by people were called sandals in ancient Egypt. It also were worn in Greece, Rome and Mesopotamia. During the Middle Ages, sandals were abandoned for moccasins and boots. An early form of moccasin was used by the American Indians as well as the Eskimos. This type of footwear was the standard shoe worn by American settlers until Thomas Beard brought shoemaking from London to the United States in the mid-1500s. Moreover, the ancient Chinese people had invented a kind of shoes with the wooden soles.

With time goes by, the shape and style of shoes changes. People not only seek for comfortability, but also fashion, even individuality. Shoe artisans created ornate and decorative shoes for aristocrats in ancient Egypt, Japan and Europe. But in modern times, shoes are divided into several categories. For example, Sports shoes are designed to help the wearer better participate in a specific athletic activity, such as running or baseball. Work shoes are designed to help workers better do their jobs, such as heavy construction boots or walking shoes for nurses. Casual and dress shoes make up the other category, including the shoes people wear on a regular basis or when dressing formally. Hand painted shoes are mainly for those who are with independent thoughts, pursuing individualities.

Shoes Today

Nowadays, shoe manufacturing is a major industry, meeting a wide variety of shoe needs, including expensive high-fashion footwear, sports-specific shoes and inexpensive shoes.

The Story Behind Cupid Inspired Matching Slipons



 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.

Meanwhile, we are speading the happy creed through our custom shoes to the whole world. Hopefully, we want every one in the world to smile every day. Here are the reasons.

1.Smiling makes us attractive.

We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in.

2. Smiling Changes Our Mood

Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

3. Smiling is Contagious

When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.

4. Smiling Relieves Stress

Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.

5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System

Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.

6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure

When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?

7. Smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better.

The Most Romantic Words For Proposal And The Most Offbeat Shoes For Wedding




Recently, I received one customer’s request that she needed a pair of hand painted slip-on shoes for her wedding, and she asked to paint the picture drawn by her fiancĂ© when they first dated upon the shoes. To be perfectly honest, it’s my first time to be told to require an slip-on shoes for the wedding, not the high heel. So I guess that the fiancĂ© is pretty considerate or both of them are pretty high. Anyway, wedding is the beginning of the marriage, and the proposal is the beginning of the wedding.  Therefore, the romantic and sincere words for proposal plays a rather vital roles in the process of the wedding. Maybe you can learn from some classic movies.

Would you be more convinced if I fell to my knees? But it cannot have escaped your notice that for some time past thefriendship I have felt for you has ripened into a deeper feeling, a feeling more beautiful, more pure,more sacred. Dare I name it? Can it be love? 

Forrest Gump
Will you marry me? I'd make a good husband, Jenny. I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

4 Weddings and 1 Funeral
There I was, standing there in the church and for the first time in my whole life I realized I  totally and utterly loved one person. And it wasn't the person standing next to me in the veil, it's ...the personstanding opposite me now in the rain. The truth of it is… I’ve loved you from the first second I met you.

Gone With The Wind
That I can't go on any longer without you. I made up my mind that you were the only woman for me... the first day I saw you at Twelve Oaks.

Firelight
If you would consider a life in America, I would be proud to take you there, as my wife.

Then how about these words? Are you ready for your proposal? What kind of gifts would you like to send to your fiancee, the hand painted shoes with your love meaning? 

Original Reading: The Dreams Of Ocean




Everyone like me in his childhood had a wonderful fantasy to the mysterious sea world, because we were told the bedtime stories that there were many elves living under the sea, including our dream prince, princess mermaid and the castle. Also, daddy and mummy often sang me a song. It’s called Fish Are like the Stars.

Down in the sea, the deep blue sea,
Millions of fish swim around.
Some are red and some are green,
And some are clear and can’t be seen.
Down in the sea, the deep blue sea,
Millions of fish swim around,
Oh how I wish that I were a fish
So I could swim anytime I wish.

Up in the sky, the deep blue sky
Millions of stars shine on me;
Some sparkle bright
And some are nice and white,
Up in the sky, the deep blue sky
Millions of stars shine on me;
Oh how I wish that I were a star
So I could twinkle all night long.

So when I first saw this picture above, my curiosity and expectation about the future in the childhood came into my mind, which was more than precious. Then I’ve made a wish that I will paint it on the custom canvas shoes. Now I’ve made it and here comes the dream of ocean themed aesthetic hand painted high-top canvas sneakers as you see in the picture. It takes me three days to make it and it’s on account of the exquisite oil painting skill. For the sake of the paints, I use the acrylic paints that are proven to be applied directly onto canvas. Therefore, it definitely waterproof and washable.

Generally, the shoes are mainly colored in marine blue with a little girl’s back which not only make your whole outfit so cute, but also bring a refreshing feel in the hot weather.

This is the latest hand painted shoes I design. If you like, pretty thankfully for me. more hand painted canvas sneakers designed by me look forward to your appreciation. I also customize the Vans silp-ons for kids and Converse All Stars.
