Default Zazzle now offers custom shoes

Just got an email from Zazzle announcing that they now offer (one off) shoes that you can fully customize with your own graphics.

The designs can be all over the shoe, which is a bit different than spreadshirt's flock/flex placement on the sides of the shoe.

Unfortunately, it don't seem to have men's shoes at this time (only women's and kid's styles):

Custom Shoes: design your own custom shoe at Zazzle

Print, Cut, then Sew.

Zazzle prints on the fabric first, then cuts out the patterns that then are sewed together to make your Keds shoe.

This may be a stupid question but if that is the case how are they offering personalized one offs with names and photos?

As the person orders it, they print it (before it's sewn together). Then they assemble it and ship it to the customer.

I was thinking, if you had your own clothing line selling t-shirts and you wanted to add some shoes to it, you could design a cool shoe, order a couple for product shots and then put them in your online store as sort of "limited edition" "premium made to order" type items and when the customer orders, you order from zazzle and then ship it to your customer. Of course letting the customer know the the lead time for that special item.

The slip on is a unisex style. Ladies size 12 is equivalent to mens size 10. So if you are size 10 or smaller you could just do that. I have to wear mens shoes all the time because I'm an 11.5, nobody ever notices.

I was thinking it looked just like a "regular" shoe.

I would need like a ladies size 15 or 16 then I've got big feet.

But since I'm probably an odd duck, it does make it more possible that I could offer it to my customers as a "unisex" style up to a certain size. The big feet men would just be left out for now

Us big footed people are generally cursed in that way.

Yeah that could work, although I can't imagine Zazzle taking very much longer to offer the mens sizes. I think most guys are 9-12 so it would probably make more sense to wait rather than annoy your customers.

This would be such a great product for fundraising events (because t-shirts are so overdone, ha ha)

Designing the shoes is so fun. (my weird idea of fun at least) My only qualm is that they are 60 plus bucks, which is a little high for keds. Anyway I guess I will try to scrounge up the money from my couch cushions to buy some of my designs.

Thanks Rodney, for the news.
This definitely offers a lot of possibilities!

However, SS also offers customizable sneakers, though.

Yeah, I mentioned that in my original post The Zazzle shoes are MUCH more customizable than the flex/flock print offered on the SS shoes.
