How to Runway Score a Pair of Shoes

How to Runway Score a Pair of Shoes

Ever wonder how runway models avoid slipping on that shiny, slick surface? The backstage dressing crew uses many different techniques to make shoes slip-proof. One method, scoring, is an easy and fast way to render soles more stable without soiling or scuffing. This tutorial illustrates how to score shoes using the same exact method that high-fashion shows utilize. It takes precision and care, but the results are time-tested to work.

Instructions

    1

    Turn the shoe over in your less dominant hand. Hold it sole side up. Use the pencil to mark diagonal guide lines, if necessary.

    2

    Take the blade and slash the sole diagonally across the toe bed. Make the lines about 1/2 inch apart. Keep the cuts relatively shallow at this point. Score both shoes.

    3

    Try on the shoes and walk on a slick floor to see if more scoring is necessary. If it is, go over the same cuts in the sole, but press the blade a bit deeper. Try on the shoes again.

    4

    Add more striations if the soles are still slick. Criss-cross the lines in order to make a diamond pattern on the sole. Part of the appeal of runway scoring is the fact that it looks decent, so do the cutting in an orderly fashion.
