Slimmed the toe box via the steam method and then applied the stickers. Now I just need to upgrade the ankl straps and these shoes are done.

If you're steaming the toe it could take anywhere from 20 minutes a shoe to an hour be patient and careful when forming the shoe you don't want wrinkles or muffin top on the sides. If you guys want a better looking shoe id just go for the cut and glue slim toe I did an my shoes look so much better than when I had the steam toe I also dyed my soles blue today they look so much better than just having the yellowing solesAwesome job Striker Z how long did it take to steam slim the toe box?

My decals arrived about 3 days ago thanks Mark. I am doing the fixes before I apply them. They look great though and quality is good.
Sweet mods. I've seen the cut and toe method but I didn't want to separate the midsole and glue it back together. I want to do the steam method and have seen videos I'm just not sure what the technique is to avoid wrinkles or press it down. As for the dyed soles that looks awesome too! How did you dye them?If you're steaming the toe it could take anywhere from 20 minutes a shoe to an hour be patient and careful when forming the shoe you don't want wrinkles or muffin top on the sides.

Yeah I was scared to at first but there's no substitute if you want that movie shoe look the sole dye is just rit dye royal blue in some water and a little bit of alcohol then just use a paint brush and paint the soles with the mixture let them sit do more layers until they're the color you want if you want to see a video just YouTube search rit dye yellowed solesSweet mods.

Yeah that's true and the extra slim sock toe looks very sleek. I'm not going for complete accuracy though so I'm passing over some of the mods. I commend your work because they look sweet! Thanks for the info on the sole dye as well I have to look into it and might consider trying it on my pair.Yeah I was scared to at first but there's no substitute if you want that movie shoe look the sole dye is just rit dye royal blue in some water and a little bit of alcohol then just use a paint brush and paint the soles with the mixture let them sit do more layers until they're the color you want if you want to see a video just YouTube search rit dye yellowed soles
