Fashion Friday! Milk & Honey- Design Your Dream Shoes!


Now why didn't I think of this? Milk & Honey lets you design your own pair of dream shoes, including heel size, style, adornments, heel height, etc.!  They also have vegan/vegetarian models! One drawback to this site is it costs between $200-$300 to design your own pair. The high price actually makes sense when you consider that someone is hand designing these shoes just for you according to your specifications. If you are getting married, attending a very important event, or just really, really love shoes, then the cost may be worth it. If not, at least you can play around with the design app tab called Design Now which lets you begin designing your own shoes from scratch. Be careful! You may just want your own pair!

For the less creative types, there is a tab on the website called Inspiration Gallery, which lets you view popular styles to get your creative juices flowing. There is also a chat box that directly links you to a Milk & Honey representative who can answer any of your questions concerning getting started, price, etc.


Popular celebrity followers include Busy Phillips (her pumps are a best seller), Ginnifer Goodwin, Emily Deschanel and Selena Gomez ,whose adorable Dorothy inspired red-glitter No Place Like Home pumps (picture above), made me want to click my heels three times (you can also purchase a less expensive similar pair at Yoox online for $160) Like the shoes you design from scratch, you can also select the heel height for the already-created Inspiration Gallery designs like the No Place Like Home shoes. So, girls with a love for a high heel height can choose four inches or less, while taller girls (and girls with sensitive tootsies) can also select  a heel height of two inches or less if desired.

Milk & Honey offers help to those people who just can't find the exact shoes they are looking for (and have a fat wallet).  The good news is, once a site like this appears on the internet, other (less expensive) sites are sure to follow!

Happy Friday!

  1. Another outlet for custom shoes are ballroom dance shoes. I had a pair custom made for our wedding. http://www.callielynn.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album84&id=424_G They were only $85! The bottoms of the soles are suede, so they would only work indoors, but they are the only comfortable high heels I've ever owned!
