What’s good bro. I’m trying to get more clientele in with my custom shoe business. How do you feel about a promotion for something like that? How would you get someone to promote your shoes? What is a good way to get others to promote your shoes? Preciate your response 💪🏽

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Deifnitly man! Start sending those DM’s to every influencer ya know. Have to shoot your shot. Only takes one

[@cameronmartinez9234]

Howdy man ! Shoot us an email [e-mail]

[@ankitaagrrawal1009]

Would it be durable to glue on rhinestones on shoes?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yes, but I wouldn't place any on crease areas. Use something like an e6000 glue

[@Aaron-xl2qq]

What is the best way or site to start selling shoes?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Friends and family always. Then posting to all your social medias. Then posting content to tik tok and yt shorts. Once there’s interest then you worry about a website

Any advice or anything you can give me on that.. never done multi layered stencils or anything like that but my wife does have a cricut.. thanks in advance your the goat

[@shawnsinclair2074]

Also watching you masterclass videos on multi layering

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yeah forsure man! everything you could ever need to know is in that hour long video. It's a tonnnnnnnnn of info so its probably one of those things you'll need to watch a couple times to throughly understand but it's ALL there!

[@shawnsinclair2074]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear lol you can say that again so complicated don’t know how y’all do it so impressive.. thanks

[@FaithAndFirearms]

Is cracking inevitable, no matter how much prep work is done? I've gotten to the point where sanding is getting heavy enough it's tearing up stitching, and roughing up the leather, so the paint looks lumpy.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Nope, you can try your best to stay away from the stitching. Just do it by hand with smaller pieces of sandpaper. However then other important factors would be paint application and dry times that could lead to cracking

[@FaithAndFirearms]

Ok. I'll try something else. I'm currently using a fine grit, but if I go at it too long, it gets too rough, and looks terrible. What grit do you recommend?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

@@FaithAndFirearms 400,800,1500.

[@memphissheik]

@@FaithAndFirearms where are you having your worst examples of cracking. he's had other videos where he talks about wear patterns. specifically where the shoes flexes and bends which is where you want to make sure you do your most consistent prep. i still have problems with eyelets. The 400, 800, 1500 brit progfession does work for me, though.

[@FaithAndFirearms]

@@memphissheik in the creases around the toe box

[@timmerrill7827]

Great info as always

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

My man!

4:24 I broke my femur at the age of 5. Was hit by a car. That half car was brutal. This was 1985

[@yatharthlilhare]

Bro shoes that painted. Can there colour removed by washing or by water ??????? Plz reply ❤

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Nope they can be cleaned?

[@ImmyJLP]

First, I love the channel Second, I know prep work is important and you should wipe the shoe with acetone and sand it down.. however, my question is for a splatter paint shoe… should you still sand the shoe even though you might have some gray marks?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Generally speaking prep is super important because as we paint in thin layers we need the paint and shoe to flex together. This isn't necessarily the case with splatter, so I think you could get by with just ace toning. However at the same time even if there were grey marks you could likely cover them up with the splatter as well

[@ImmyJLP]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear whoa, didn’t expect a reply… super simple and straight to the point response.. I love the channel and you’ve gained a ton of watch time from me. I look forward to your new videos!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Appreciate you tuning in! @@ImmyJLP

[@jjp7914]

I need help!!!

[@Amy-pk2yc]

I recently customized my first pair of shoes, and really enjoyed it. I am want to start customizing in my hometown and see how that goes. Question, who provides the shoe, to be customized, you or the customer? I’m learning so much from all your videos, great info!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Thats awesome to hear! I think both ways work just fine, whatever is easier for you and your customer! Just make sure youre getting some type of down payment if youre purchasing shoes in advance

[@georgiarickard386]

Awesome video again! I've started painting a few customs but don't yet have an airbrush set up. I ended up painting the inner lining/guts of a high top nike air force 1 with a brush with colour + too soft at a 1:1 ratio but it still came out a bit stiff. In your opinion is it always better to be using an airbrush for the guts? Thanks! :)

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yes, less paint will always be applied with an airbrush vs paintbrush which is ideal for sockliner application

[@thewreckingcrew4463]

Any idea on a review your custom shoe video? Great video as always!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Coming soon!!
