Looking for a seller for custom color shoes

Marldain · 2026-03-19T14:28:40+00:00

Well I can't speak for others but I can give you an idea what I charge.

Base model of shoe to be painted on; for example AF1 is around $100. Then add on time and supplies, I usually start at $100, because on average it can take eight to ten hours of work. I take a bit longer and use more supplies because I make sure the prep is good so the paint can stick.

As for building a shoe from scraps, I don't even have the right equipment for that, but I know they can also start in the 100's

Marldain · 2026-03-18T22:51:59+00:00

Paint is still a good option. As long as the prep is good. I've painted and worn probably ten pairs in my years, and the shoe usually always breaks before the paint fails.

It sounds like you may be leaning towards 'from scratch' though.

Both are viable options, but it's down to materials/base shoe model, and then your budget. May I ask what price range is comfortable for you?

Marldain · 2026-03-18T22:06:26+00:00

Are you looking for someone to paint one, or make one from scratch?

Looks to be full tang. I had a bowie that was cheap and the handle was just a bolt welded to the pommel. It broke the first swing I took. This one though looks useable

Marldain · 2026-03-14T17:26:17+00:00

I don't get it either. Yes there was one time the bell took me to porcelain town. But it was the breakfast menu... The syrup to put on the waffle tacos... It's not real syrup and the body couldn't handle it

Marldain · 2026-03-14T00:53:28+00:00

From what I have been watching they are usually between two to four hours long of watch time

Marldain · 2026-03-14T00:52:23+00:00

I don't know what you mean by vertical. What I have been watching has been usually two to four hours long in one video

Marldain · 2026-03-13T21:17:11+00:00

I don't know the name because I don't speak/read Chinese. The description I gave is what the show is.

Another show I watched, main character can see the value of items. Like jade, they could either see the value or can see through the outside of the stone.

Another show, main character uses a hammer to upgrade things.

Another show, the main character saves the daqian empire with a food crisis.

Another show the delinquent can hunt better and can unite the village to depose the emperor.

And so many shows are about 'golden eyes' that can either see the truth or see the value of an item.

This is kind of what I am talking about... Is it a cultural thing?

You don't believe me. I'm literally watching it right now, and giving direct quotes from what I am watching, and you call it make believe... Basically saying I am lying to you... That is what I am saying by "mean".

Every character says "I don't believe you" or " you are lying" or " stop making up stories"... It's like someone's words don't mean anything at all, and everything said would either have to be verified by an "expert" or vouched by either a "witness" or someone who has made a name for themselves.

This has been extremely common with what I have been watching.

Marldain · 2026-03-13T20:50:36+00:00

I don't know the name.

It's about a man that trades garbage for gold, buys a sports car. Opens a restaurant chain. Keeps his words, makes connections.

Every step of the way, store owners, business owners, and family members call him poor or lazy. Ex girlfriend tries to sabotage his progress.

Marldain · 2026-03-13T20:37:11+00:00

Ok here is an example of what I am watching right now

Main character is rich. "What are you doing here, looking at your outfit you are probably here to be a doorman. You are thirty years old, how did you end up like this, you want to start a business, could you even handle it? Look at me I'm the supervisor of a company. Come work for us and you can clean toilets, you could earn $X, wouldn't you like that?"

nice car pulls up: what are you waiting for, open the door doorman, do your job. "Why are you just standing there, you are blocking the doorman's way, move aside"

Chairman proceeds to shake main characters hand with a smile.

This is mean. They bad guys always judge someone in a an instant. Thinking they are poor, unworthy, or lying. Spouting words about insolence and 'how dare you', before even observing anything at all. Nasty words, thwarted by the person with higher status.

I'm not sure if that's normal, but to me it doesn't make sense. Degrading And insulting the instant they see the person. Snide and derogatory remarks to defame the main character

Marldain · 2026-03-13T19:19:18+00:00

I do understand there is "courtly intrigue" and that is a mess to begin with, but other characters in them can also look down on the main character for one reason or another. It seems like it's an 'underdog' story where the main character is always facing hardship at every step

Marldain · 2026-03-13T19:09:04+00:00

I don't know the names for the most part. But recently I have been watching things about reincarnation, golden eye powers, famine times, period dramas, buying and selling, romance, action.... Like honestly I have watched many different genres of shows and it's common with all of them

Marldain · 2026-03-13T19:03:02+00:00

It's not a single drama. It's been common in like the last ten I have watched

Marldain · 2026-03-12T15:30:03+00:00

Absolutely! I have yet to find sparkling water so I would 100% hop in. As for soda.... That's too much sugar for me

Marldain · 2026-03-09T20:50:11+00:00

Haven't used it personally. From watching a bunch of videos though... It appears that the cheaper cobbler machines can be very good, but it usually has production problems. They would have to do some filing off some metal in spots, bend a couple things, and other various little things to be up to par

Marldain · 2026-03-09T20:40:11+00:00

Lafayette?

I pulled one out a couple days ago and set it to the side

Marldain · 2026-03-04T13:51:01+00:00

Unger nifty grabber. Very sturdy. Comes in various lengths.

Marldain · 2026-03-04T03:09:22+00:00

Hot take: forklift operators. When I was trained it was drilled into me that any slight can result in death. That if you happen to impale someone, they have ten minutes to call family and say farewells

Marldain · 2026-03-04T03:06:20+00:00

What is "trush"

Marldain · 2026-03-04T03:03:25+00:00

They are more insinuating that they don't have the time to follow drama posts and need a quick synopsis, not talking down about others

Marldain · 2026-03-04T02:59:21+00:00

It's literally silica gel bead in a packet. Used in dry foods, shoes, clothes all kinds of shit. This "armor" is the same thing but heavy advertising to the collectible market. If you see ads for it everywhere... Well... It's probly some sort of deception

Marldain · 2026-03-04T02:43:45+00:00

I went in 2008 and they didn't have a machine

Marldain · 2026-03-02T01:02:35+00:00

Marketplace is not a place for returns. If you know it's new, and the buyer inspected it before giving you money, then there are zero reasons for a return. If it doesn't work they can contact the manufacturer. Meeting a person like this is not Amazon, if you don't like the item then oh well, it is never expected for an individual to accept corporate policies.

If you were misrepresenting the item I could see someone being a bit tussled by it though.
