Step 13
Now we will create the outer lining of the shoe. Create a new layer and name it 'outer lining'. Grab your pen tool and make a shape like the image below, then make a selection of it and fill it with #ffffff
Step 14
Now we will shade in the lining just like we did the tip of the shoe. Get your 32px soft round brush (#dedcdc, Flow:27%) and shade in the lining around the bottom
Step 15
Create a new layer and again grab your pen tool. Make sure that your paint brush is set to 4px hard round brush and the color is set to #2f2f2f
Step 16
Right click it and select stroke path. Then erase away the ends of the line so that it fades out, use a soft round brush
Step 17
Create a new layer and make a shape like the image below. I made this shape red so that you could see the shape of it but fill your shape #f1f1f1
Step 18
Duplicate this layer and add this Pattern Overlay to this second layer
Step 19
Create a layer mask from this layer (circle inside a square icon) and erase away the pattern around the edges of this shape.
Step 20
Create a new layer underneath this shape and add a bit of a shadow with a 15px soft round brush (color: #dbdbdc Flow: 100%). Also reapeat this same step but place it above this shape layer
Step 21
Create a new layer and with a 58px soft round brush Flow: 25% Color: #e5e5e7 paint around the entire lining. Make sure to leave some areas white.
Step 22
Create a new layer and with your pen tool selected make a line around the lining. Again make sure that your pen tool is set to 4px hard round brush #2f2f2f. Make your line and right click on the line and select stroke path.
Step 23
Now we will add some highlights to this line. Create a new layer and with a small soft round brush #ffffff, paint in some highlights on the line. Then make this layer Opacity: 63%
Step 24 Rings
Now we will create the holes or the rings that the shoe laces go through. Grab your Elliptical Marquee Tool and make a circle. Note: I like to hold down the shift key when doing this so that I get a even round circle. Fill it with #ffffff
Step 25 Contract the selection
Select>Modify>Contract then click 'ok'
Step 26
Press your delete key to delete the inside of the circle and apply these layer styles
