old lady shoes -> ballet-looking shoes

[avrage-princess.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry for the all-text post but a while ago someone posted something where they took these old-lady type shoes from walmart and turned them into those ballet flat-lookin shoes. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Please, please, please, I need help finding that post and I've looked until I went crazy, but I didn't find it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can give me a link, that would be MUCH appreciated. It doesn't even have to be a post from here; just if you saw something like that...
