I’ve had these flats for about three summers now and while they are still usable, the tips were starting to look a bit scratched. I’ve seen a lot of flats or heels with a painted tip, so I thought that coloring the tips of my flats would improve the look so that I could use them for one more summer. Instead of using spray paint I decided to use a black permanent marker. It was easy to just tape the tips and color them with the marker. I also changed the laces for black leather string for more contrast. Here’s the after:

They look almost like new! The result is cute and saves some money too… so I’m happy!
