I was asked if I could make somebody "A Single Shoe". So this is what I did. Maybe this wasn't what he meant? Don't ask too many questions and just go with it. If nothing else, this "top" is so strange, even if you're a dull person, your avie won't be. EMBRACE THE INNER LUNATIC!
PLEASE NOTE: This version is for MEN ONLY. There is a Women's Shoe Body available, sold separately. This is a Upper Body replacement item, so it won't work with most shirts. It also doesn't replace your hands, so consider buying some white gloves as well to complete the look. Works best with skinny pants to avoid shoe clipping. Please use TRY IT before you BUY IT to ensure it works with your chosen outfit! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't work with your existing outfit or body type.
Prefer clean shoes? White shoes? RAINBOW?! Well then, buddy, start Deriving! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Below is the template you'll need to get started (Right Click and Save As to your computer):

This is the Texture map for the Laces. This repeats on each lace segment:
This item shouldn't need any sound, but if you must add some, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:

Also avoid looping sounds, as they tend to get annoying to listen to very quickly. Try to keep your volume levels low as well, as IMVU tends to over-amplify all audio playback to near ear-bleeding levels.
