Berkenstocks are quite popular even till today because of its durability and comfort. It brings the combinations of trend, fashion and style with functionality and practicality together without requiring you to pay for so much. This German shoe brand has so many different kinds that you can choose from like sandals, boots, shoes and so on and so forth. With so many different styles, you can wear different pairs for different occasions. Sometimes though, even if your pair of Berkenstocks is stylish and comfortable, it looks a little dull without some customization. By personalizing your Berkenstocks, you can make your shoes to reflect your personality and it is moderately easy.
I like doing this, I try to personalize everything I own from shoes, clothing, laptop computers, mobile phones and anything that I could adorn with things that reflect me. My Berkenstock now, looks really different from its original appearance when I first bought it. I started personalizing Berkenstocks by experimenting with my old shoes. Obviously, you don’t want to experiment with your new pair, duh! I sometimes use rubber stamps to add pictures or words to the back or side of my shoes. Take note though that if you are doing this on leather, use quick drying solvent ink to avoid smearing, trust me, I found out the hard way. If you feel like embossing letters or other characters, you can use metal stamps and properly position them over the leather or suede and use a hammer to impress the shape into the surface. You can also use a sharp tool to etch images or words onto your Berkenstocks. Likewise, you can use decorative pins or tacks to adorn the cork and latex foot bed. I usually write some messages on my Berkenstocks but you can also write movie lines, quotes, lyrics or whatever you feel like writing. I usually use opaque pens to add doodles around the words to add a used-look and personalized-look to them. If you’re having a hard time keeping the ink on the shoe, try priming the surface with a coat of glaze before you write. Finally, you can also use ribbons, charms or any seasonal shapes to decorate the straps and buckles of your Berkenstocks.
Making your Berkenstocks more you can be a fun and entertaining hobby that you can enjoy for many hours. I normally find it quite exciting, especially when I think about how I would decorate them.
