Step 1
Get your sneaks ready for some serious studding. Say goodbye to those plain janes and prepare for a DIY Makeover!
Step 2
Unlace your sneakers. It'll be MUCH easier to stud them without the laces in.
Step 3
Take your first stud, line it up with the bottom seam of sneaker, and push hard. The bottom layer is definitely the hardest because of the extra material that's there.
Step 4
Look into the inside of the show. There should be four points to the stud. Simply fold them over with your nails, a scissor or plyers. They are definitely easy to push, however after a lot of studding, your fingers will get pricked!
Step 5
Line the bottom of the shoe with studs as shown.
Step 6
Continue studding...
Step 7
We are almost done with the third layer and boy our fingers are SO prickly!!
Step 8
Here is the first sneaker all done!!
Step 9
Here's a look at shoe #1 with laces all tied up!
Step 10
Now stud up your show #2!
Step 11
Here is shoe #2 all done up! Time to add the laces :)
Step 12
Add those laces. There are many different way to tie 'em up, we just went with the classic lace up with tongue flapped down a lil' bit
Step 13
Et Voila!! So chic, so easy! To D.I.Y. for...

Great work,and great explanation.
I wanted to ask,do the studs get ripped off the shoe easily? Do they ever 'un-open' or something like that?
Again thanks alot for doing this.
