Custom Shoes!!! They're finally HERE!!

Oh...my...god. Seriously. There is finally a cool website that allows you to CUSTOM DESIGN your own shoes. So all those times you said to yourself "Oh, I love that shoe - if only it came in navy, and if only I could remove that bow or buckle or whatever!" Now it's all possible with Shoes of Prey. Go check them out - and enjoy creating exactly what you want, with high quality craftsmanship and a reasonable pricetag, quoted nicely in Canadian dollars! (FYI: I said reasonable - not cheap - I mean, after all - they are bespoke!). Can't wait to order my first pair!
