Great execution just not a great base shoe. The Adios or the Supernova might have been better.

Great work. A felt mop bit on a drill will sort the rest T. Or a Rotary tool.

I tried it on a pair of campus 80s mita, as per Lurky's informative guide . . . I don't know if I was using the wrong nail polish remover or just not working hard enough but it didn't seem to work very well. Confused
I don't wear Crocs, and I don't wear sandals/The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles . . .

Great work T! Maybe I should buy a pair of these too.
All is a riddle, and the key to the riddle is another riddle.

That really made me think that too. I really didn't like that tea bagged look but maybe there is a way to get it off even with my limited skills.

Think some nail polish remover is a milder composition these days with very little, if any acetone. Acetone will take it off. But if you get it on the upper or the glue it will take that off too. The milder stuff should work with elbow grease and/or power tools. Maybe rubbing alcohol too. Wink
