Thank you for such a great tutorial! I have paints just like that so I'm so excited that this actually works!
Do you mod podge is perfectly fine?
And I see about cracking but cracking is possible?

I like Mod Podge, don't get me wrong.
BUT! I did start using all Liquitex products.
They're affordable. They have a good flex to them.
The satin varnish is good, too. I buy mine at Dickblick.com.
I think ANY shoe you have is going to crack at some point.
They're on your feet after all. I find that chuck style shoes
wear the best. I like ballet flats, too. Anything you paint on
the sides of the shoe will wear slower than things right across the
top. My Totoro vans cracked. I put them up.
are totally going strong.

Haha yeah I think I might just do those if I ever want just some fun show off shoes..
I'm in love with fabric markers though. I was just walways wondering how people made such smooth looking art!

I use some fabric markers. I just don't a whole lot.
The sealant will make everything look smooth and polished.

Once again, so awesome and helpful! I think I actually have an old pair of shoes that I can truss up.

Good idea.
Use an old pair first. The first ones you do--- might not turn out the way you want them to.

Yep! It's always good to have a few practice pairs before you move on up.

what happen if I put them on and walk, does the paint break?
(sorry for my english ^^)

(I know you're having a hard time with the english, if you want to, would translate this for you. 
Do you want to know how the paint holds up when you wear them?
I think some care has to be taken with them. Wear custom shoes to the mall, but do not wear them to go running. Slip-on shoes are more prone to crack or damage than a chuck style/ Converse shoe.
I have had my shoes over 6 months now. They do show a lot of wear. As any shoe would after this amount of time. I wear mine a lot. I wear them anywhere to do anything. My oldest daughter's custom shoes, are just about as old as mine and they look new. She takes very good care of them. She wears them to school and that's about it.
My youngest daughter's custom shoes are the ones in this tutorial. They are less than 2 months old and do have a crack in the paint. But, she wears hers to jump on the trampoline and run through wet grass.
I think just like any other shoe you would buy, some damage is unavoidable. I think if you're careful with them, the life of your custom shoes can be pretty long.

thanks a lot, this helps me a lot ^^ I have a new pair of slip-on shoes and wanted to paint them but was afraid because of the damage that walking could make to them. Now I'll paint them and use them with no fear
