The shoes are the brainchild of three art students, who set up their business, Positively Pink, on a shoestring budget.

At first they painted t-shirts, bags, and other accessories - but it's their original footwear they've become famous for.

With monthly revenues steadily rising, the team are now planning to produce their own shoes from scratch in the future.
