Personalized Printed Pumps

DreamHeels.com Lets You Design Your Shoe & Earn Money

— July 23, 2009 — Art & Design
The printed pump has been a fashion staple for decades, with zebra, snake, or leopard print shoes making their way into designer collections year after year. But now, a new website called Dream Heels lets you be the designer and create shoes featuring any print you can imagine, all for a chance at winning $2000.

Wild patterns? Check. Colorful designs? Check. Vivid photography? Check. According to DreamHeels.com founder and designer Matt Francois, “Dream Heels lets you design printed pumps that are completely unique. I’ve designed one-of-a-kind custom shoes for years, and I know that given the chance, others will enjoy designing unique shoes as much as I do. The extra cash is just the icing on the cake.”

Want to be the next Louboutin? Just visit the Dream Heels website and download the shoe design template. Then simply “paint between the lines” to create your own pair of printed high heels. You can even see what your design will look like on a real shoe by using the 3D Shoe Viewer available on the website. “It really is as easy as coloring between the lines.” says Francois.

All user-submitted designs become part of an ongoing design competition and are judged by other members of the site’s online community. Winning designs are made into shoes and sold worldwide via the Dream Heels shop. Winner’s are rewarded with gift certificates for free shoes and up to $2000, including residuals for each shoe sold featuring their design.

It’s free to join the Dream Heels community and design your own shoes. Sign-up for an account now at Dream Heels.com!
