Besides looking as if they came straight from the factory, the main quality customized footwear needs to have is durability. Plain and simple, all shoes are bound to scuff, be it regular or custom. Depending on how well one takes care of their Evolved Footwear customized shoes, they can last as long as they want.
By how well do we mean? Using ones shoes for casual wear around school, work, or out on the town. Not out playing ball, break dancing, or running all over. Second, if one wears them enough they may need to be cleaned. A simple cleaning should consist of a cloth rag slightly damp with soapy water, rubbing softly around the custom areas.
Custom footwear is a luxury item, as long as the shoes are worn with care they will last as long as the shoe itself. Each of the shoes below has been worn regularly from 4 months up to 2 years. The black and orange AF1 low is from September 2002, the grey and pink Converse from December 2003, and Blazer from October 2004. Any of the white areas, are light reflected off the finish.
