Wow! They look almost the same as real klicky shoes! :clap:

At a glance it would be hard to tell they are painted on. 8-)

Thanks for posting such clear instructions. :)

Good idea and nice demonstration but I think finaly it's not a solid finition. During the time, sticky and colormarker set out.
