painted jack purcell's (image heavy... dial-up will suffer)

umm... first post...

i got these shoes about a year ago from a friend whom they didnt fit. they fit me perfectly, but i'm not a huge fan of converse purcell's. (give me good ole chucks any day)

i knew i could come up with a use for them, and i finally did.

i know painting shoes isn't the most original thing ever, but w/e.

now i just need a cool way to display them (tooooo colorful for me personally to actually wear, although in theory, i could...)
ideally, i would like to paint shoeprints about halfway up the wall and nail the shoes above so it looks like they walked up the wall. but i am only going to be living at home for about a year and figure my parents won't want shoeprints on the wall when i leave. so until i have a place of my own, i need an alternative...

they look amazing. I don't know how you could display them.....but they are totally sweet. It's so seemingly random, but really works.

Well, you could shoe-print a canvas and hang it to the wall with the shoes nailed to.  Then you could paint the canvas with all sorts of wild things!
