well i had a picture to refference from but not to allighn it to. first i made the outline with the pen tool.then i used a medium brown color. then to make the texture i used a combo of render/clouds, opacity,burn dodge,add noise and blurring,and sharpeneing and some clone stamp to give the sued feel. i used some brushes for the stitches. for the laces i used the pen tool, burn dodge and a mesh pattern.and to finish it off the reflection i used was a duplicate that was fliped vertically, with a lower opacity and feather. there you have it a shoe made in 35 min's
a great tip is that if you render something make the resolution super huge so when its reduced you get quality.
