koolshoos: hand-made, hand-painted shoes
Shoedish visited an outdoor art festival and street fair yesterday and was bombarded by all that art slavery in the Southwest has to offer. Among the pretties we discovered, like a new turquoise thumb ring from a Brooklyn-turned-TorCer jeweller, a 10-month old Collie-mix pup we’re planning to name Merdoch, and a gazillion too-expensive-for-poor-shoedish paintings, was a fantastically gaudy shoe maker from Prescott, Arizona. The shoecool shoe makers of KoolShoos showed us that you can never have too many colors when it comes to decorating your feet. From classic mary janes to hi-top boots and peep-toes to low-tops, there is a hand-painted shoe just for you. KoolShoos are hand-cobbled by Mark Carter and hand-painted by he and his wife Cody; an artistic duo of major proportions. Check out their website to find a unique pair made just for you or if you’re lucky enough to live in the area, you can purchase styles at Van Gogh’s Ear on Whiskey Row in Prescott, Arizona.
