Nice!

While I haven't painted any shoes per-say, I do know that Angelus makes a product for this!

it's best to use leather/fabric paints. With a light spray you did, that may hold on but it will crack and flake off as you wipe them/clean them/etc

Love my Empire SLX's too, they are my fav shoes

My question is how do you do 10 000 miles and have your shoes still look so good?

I've got 4000 on a pair of shoes (another brand but still) and they are in rough shape I may get another season out of them.

I've done two rides since painting them, and so far so good.

Those look awesome. Now I really, really want to do this. Maybe I'll look at that shoe paint on Amazon for a weekend project...

There is a good video if you want to do a simple weekend job
prep is the most important step
acetone (nail polish remover-is cheap and avail anywhere)
masking tape
brushes or airbrush

Reviving this thread for purposes of asking how the paint held up over a year of use? Any lessons learned, long-term recommendations?
