Hey willydimes,
Don't know if you're still looking for advice, but I have a few pointers for beginners.
1. Preparation is one of the most important parts to painting a shoe. Make sure to buy good brushes and tape, and spend time making sure that your shoe is ready to be painted.

Lol, I understand this is a pretty old post, but I do have some advice for future customizers.
