1. Arrange all items and get ready for the exciting job. Start with a pump-style shoe with a 4" heel or higher. 

2. Target the upper portion of the shoe. Spikes should be placed only in the shoe’s upper; you don’t want to drill into the actual heel.

3. Look at the seam at the back of your heels and mark with pencil where you want the spikes to sit. You want the spikes to sit apart so that there isn’t too much strain on the seam. 

4. Using your hole making tool, push through the seam and wiggle to create a hole.

5. Push the screw through the hole, using a screwdriver to twist if it is difficult to get through. Go slow and watch your fingers!

6. Attach your spikes to the screw by twisting.

7. Use the screwdriver to tightly screw the studs on. Make sure the screws are flush with the leather so your the back of your heel doesn't irritate you.

8. Voila, all done! Simple right?

These dangerous looking heels will look great paired with a more ladylike outfit like a lace skirt. Slip these babies on and wait for the compliments to roll in.
