Book Description

April 25, 1995
When is a book not a book?

When it's a pair of shoes, of course.

All you need is a pair of scissors, some glue, and this book, and you can make any of the twelve fully wearable paper shoes shown left.

This is no ordinary book. Its covers turn into soles. Its pages turn into uppers and treads, and the Velcro tabs inside become the fasteners for the basic sport shoe and boot. In addition to a complete set of patterns for all twelve original designs, you will find a separate book with clearly illustrated step-by-step instructions to guide you through this remarkable process.

But it does not end with just one pair. You can make pair after pair of paper shoes, choosing different papers for the uppers to create a colorful array of shoes to use for any occasion!

The patterned paper used in the kit is the one shown on this shoe.

5.0 out of 5 stars paper shoes you can actually wear - is this trip necessary?, February 18, 2007

This review is from: The Paper Shoe Book: Everything You Need to Make Your Own Pair of Paper Shoes (Paperback)
if you understand what you are buying & carefully look at the 3 shoes pictured on the cover & still want it, then it is a 5 star purchase. i made a pair of shoes from this - cleverly, i thought, using foil-type wrapping paper backed by clear contac adhesive. came out with a doughy, roman-soldier-sandalish, faux-espadrille, oddly suitable for chinese new year due to the materials i chose. wearing them in public would be a dubious experience for two reasons - their native looks & the careful protective gait one would have to adopt to preserve them. ...but knock yourself out. you know you want to. crafty people of the world unite!
