Sometimes I come across items that are soo cool or soo neat in concept that I don’t care that they aren’t a real deal.

A recent visit to Converse.com had myself, my husband, my daughter, her girlfriend and the piano teacher salivating over the offerings of a custom made converse shoe. You can take Converse hightops, low tops, xtra high tops for men , women or children and custom design them with different colors, patterns, laces, the works….

I choose the canvas high tops for $60… though you can choose leather. Pricing ranges from $60-$68
First you pick a style then starting with a blank canvas, you can choose from 28 outside body colors and 28 interior body colors. Then you choose the tongue color, lining color, rubber sidewall color, racing stripe color, stitch color and lace color. Finally you can personalize it with your name, business name either going up the back of the heel or on the side. You can play with all the variations for hour and when your done, chances are no one will have a pair like yours.

It’s fun waste of time just coming up with the different combinations. But it also makes a great gift… even if it is twice as much as a store bought version. Try it today!
