For each of these sites I typically give: a brief review; the price range; the number of styles you can choose from; the different features for designing; and previews of their designing platforms via thumbnails.

Milk and Honey Shoes
Milk & Honey is a rising champion in women’s shoe fashion. Created out of the dreams and passions of two sisters, Milk & Honey pleasantly helps you design the perfect shoe. Start your creation with either heels, sandals, flats, wedges, or booties. From there, you’ll have a lot of options with the toes, backs, straps, heels, and accessories. The really fun part is deciding on the material and the colors of your shoes. They have over 15 types of material ranging from leather to snakeskin to the popular pony hair, and then many colors and patterns within those materials. Milk & Honey has a great customer service program to help you out with any questions you may have along the way. Prices range from around $200-$300. And oh yeah, many celebrities are making shoes with Milk & Honey. Just check out their press page.

Nike
Nike is everywhere and will always be popular. They were one of the pioneering companies that began the whole custom-shoe craze, and it makes sense that their NikeID site is so awesome. Once you get there, choose between a large number (I got tired counting them all) of athletic shoes to customize. There are tons of details you can customize including: colors, materials, text, width, and more. My brother recently made a pair of Nike Dunks and he gets compliments daily. Prices range from $90 to $220. The thumbnail below is an example of only 10 of their many styles to choose from.

Reebok
Men, women, and kids all choose from 7 different styles of Reebok shoes to customize. Prices range from $79 to $105. Reebok’s customizing options are some of the best and I especially like the view of someone wearing the designed shoe (it helped me decide which designs looked the best). Check out the Classic Leather Low shoes: they can be made to look very fashionable for most casual situations. Also, if you’re crazy about an MLB, NHL, or NFL team, make your buddies jealous by adding a team emblem to your shoes!
