How I painted my Giro Empire shoes, and how they're holding up after 1,5 years

A fun way to extend the life of your cycling shoes, or just to switch it up a bit. The leather paint I used is from Angelus Direct. They specialize in paint for sneakers and other shoes so it's ideal for this purpose.

I'm obvious no artist so I did my shoes very conservative in two simple colors. But I you have some talent you could do some spectacular custom shoes... as you might have seen on Instagram for example. (#velokicks)
