This week's Work In Progress installment is a perfect testament to how serious we are: If you can dream it, we can make it. And we will follow your instructions to the letter to ensure that you receive exactly what you want.

The design was a creative combination of two different shoes already on the market. To show you how one person chose to convey her idea, we're just going to publish what she submitted. Voila!

"I want the boot to be knee-high with the lace-up look. I DON'T want a zipper though. I want it to be a fully functioning lace-up boot. That way, I can have it fit my calf perfectly no matter if I'm just wearing tights or I'm wearing thick and very bulky socks. I don't like the suede leather though, which is where the second picture comes in. I would like the boot to have virtually no heel."

"I would like the boot to have this finish to the leather. The kind of...old and worn leather. I shy away from distressed because I know that usually means it has different types of tools used to make it look worn, but I would like it not to be shiny and new looking. I want it to have a matte finish. If possible, I would like the top three grommets used on this boot to be used throughout the made boot."

Clear, concise and specific - made our job easy! Here's her sample creation:

Fashion Nirvana, right? And keep in mind, you can submit your design ideas however you feel most comfortable. We accept sketches, plain text, or even something like this.

Before we produce a sample, we'll double-check with you via email that we completely understand what it is you want. Then we'll send you photos (exactly like these, actually) of your creation for approval. If it's to your liking, then we can get to work on specific colors and details.

(Of course, if it's not to your liking, then we fix it. Period.)

So what do you think of these lace-up flat boots? Tell us in the comments below. Expect to see it available in our store soon.

The latest feature in our Work In Progress series is a unique hybrid - part Minnetonka moccasin, part stiletto heel.

To get a sense of this process and how truly easy it is for anyone to create anything they want, just take a look at what this shoe designer submitted to convey her wishes.

Something like this (plus some text description) is all we need to get started.

She simply said, "I'd like the shoe on the left, but give it a more rounded toe like the middle pump and the skinny heel from the shoe on the right."

After speaking with Jeff himself to ensure we were on the same page regarding her desired design, we got to work. And the result is truly something else. Check it out.

When you create your own shoe, these six images are exactly what we send to you for review, revision and approval. This is so we can make any necessary tweaks to perfect your design before shipping it to your doorstep.

What do you think about this hybrid heel? What do you love? What would you change?

Expect this shoe in our store within the next week to 10 days. If you want to claim your pair now, please just send a note with subject line 'Work In Progress' to info@jeffsilverman.com.

Very exciting news! We are currently developing an incredible, one-of-a-kind shoe for Gala Darling. We had the chance to meet her at IFBcon at the start of fashion week, and she is a tremendous personality with stand-out style. See for yourself.

Okay, so that last one is just something one of her devoted fan's created. Which only makes it that more awesome!

Anyway, this radical inspiration is also something of a shoe genius. As soon as she asked to use pink leopard print, I knew her creation would not disappoint. Behold, the first images of this work in progress.

Gala asked if we could make the soles pink instead of natural color. Of course, that is literally our DNA. You desire it. We make it.

This shoe will be available in the store very soon. Stay tuned. In the meantime, tell us what you think!

In last week's TrendSourcing post, we featured the spreading military boot trend as covered by That's Chic, The Glamourai and lulu and your mom.

This week, we have some exciting news. We are currently developing a new style with the help of a very prominent blogger (it's a secret, for now!) And would you believe, it's a military boot!

Take a peak.

What do you think? Which colors would you want? Do you prefer the straight-up or folded-down look?

Look for this boot to be available in our store within a week. Hang tight!

This is the first of many Work In Progress posts, as we'll show you the creation process from start to finish. This is one of the most exciting parts of fashion - creating something all your own. IF you have your own style ideas, we want to help you.

No matter what, you get the shoes of your dreams. Guaranteed.
