I used the mobile app for most all of this project.  So I googled coloring book shoe top view and  found this image.  I screenshot it on my phone and then opened the XCS mobile app for Andriod and clicked on import image.

After importing image click on image processing and then edit image.

Crop out everything but the shoes.

then click on magic eraser and click on every open spot so that all the white space is removed.

Next step is to click on trace.  Adjust to your liking and click on the check mark. 

Delete the image so that you are left with just the trace vector.

Since the vector was showing individual pieces around the shoe laces, I needed to combine them so that when I clicked on engrave, it didn't engrave the whole circle, just the outline.  To do this, highlight everything and click on edit, combine, subtract at overlap.

At this point I probably could have left it, but I wanted each shoe to be separate in case someone wanted to only print one.

So to separate them, I added a shape to the canvas and circled one of the shoes.  Then click on combine, subtract.  This leaves you with one shoe.  

Next, click on the shoe and then the copy icon which is the top right icon surrounding the image.

highlight the new shoe and click on reflect and reflect vertically. 

You now have left and right shoes.

Now that I had the engrave lines for my image, I needed a cut layer for the holes in the shoe laces and around the shoes.  I needed a bigger screen to add the shoe lace holes so I saved the image to my mobile app by clicking on the three dots in the upper right hand corner and chose save.  I named the project and then went back to the main screen of the mobile app.

Click on my projects, and when you see the file, click on the cloud to the right of the file.  This uploads the file to the cloud, which you can now access from the computer.

I didn't get screenshots of this part, but once I opened the project on my computer, I clicked on Text and added Left and Right foot to the toe of the shoe using the font Grandstander.  NOTE:  I have 2.0 and noticed that the g in right was messed up and I was able to go in and delete some nodes so that I was just an outline, not separate parts.  

Next I added a circle to my canvas and copied it 15 times.  I then placed each circle in the center of the lace engravings.

Finally I made a cut outline of each shoe by selecting them and clicking on outline.

I put each shoe on a separate layer and told XCS to process the file by layer.  In hindsight this might have taken longer than if I combined the whole file and had the laser go line by line, but I figured the white space between the shoes would take more time.  If you want to do it all together, just highlight the whole file and click on combine, subtract at overlap.

Once done I sent the file to the laser.

I sanded them lightly to get any over burn off and then I painted one with paint markers and kept the other one natural by adding a light white wash to it.  

Last step is to add the laces.

I'd love to see how others would personalize these shoes.  If I had littles still, I would have put their name on the heel.
