The Art of Shoe Design


        As the history of the shoe has evolved there have been more and more styles colors and patterns brought into play.  Have you ever walked into a store or shopped on line for a pair of shoes and they fit you perfectly but the design is awful? I certainly have.  That why there are now companies that have websites where you can make choose your own shoe model and design the colors and patterns on your own shoes. 

        The Vans Company has been making shoes since 1966 and the shoes have stayed in style since then.  For many years now on the vans website the company has let the customers mind go wild.  The customer can pick what style of shoe they want, what size and create their own design. When designing on the site you select different sections of each shoe, and choose the colors or patterns you want for each shoe part. You have the option to design every part of the shoe from the outer soles to the laces and tongues, you can have a different style on each part if you choose.  The option that the Vans company gives people to pick their own style is amazing and very different.  Every person has different styles and tastes so it would be impossible for a company to design and produce that many different kinds of shoes.  This website is consumer friendly and well designed.  It is amazing to see that the customers have a choice, and can make us feel like the designers.
