Hero Heels: Geekyfoot


Superheroes are everywhere in fashion right now - technically speaking our clothes have never been less  in peril. You might even call them Marvel-lous (POW! Comic book puns strike again.)

And then KABLAMO! It just got even better - thanks to Cardiff-based designer Shelley. Her aim in life - via her website Geekyfoot - is to make our footwear all heroic.

ZAP! Wonderwoman and Powergirl courts!

All of her shoes are custom-made: you pick the style you want (from ballet pump to hi-top converse to platform heel) and the comicbook theme (she does everything from Batman to My Little Pony), and then Shelley makes all your superhero-shoe-related dreams come true. Just like she did for the person that wanted those Hulk platforms at the top of this post.



It's not just for the girl-geeks among us either - oh no. She also fulfils orders for fellas who like their Vans with some serious Hulk smashing.

"GASP! PONAYS!" My Little Pony pumps

Prices start at £40 per pair and go up to around £75 for more formal/bulky designs, but Shelley also gives quotes for children and baby shoes too. I can imagine nothing more adorable than mini superman sneakers.



Or, come to think of it, these grownup sneakers either. Avengers Assemble!


If you're after some serious geekery, she also does quotes for specific/rare issues. There are literally too many designs to show you here - I suggest you check Geekyfoot out on Facebook if you want to view more.

Now I'm seriously in need of saving - which pair do I choose?
