Item description from the seller

Made for comfort and ease, these Women’s Slip-On Canvas Shoes are stylish and the ideal piece for completing an outfit. The shoes shown are custom printed with one of a series of Australian Minerals thin section images taken by my sister Sue Hanson during her career as a geologist.

The shoes are equipped with removable soft insoles and rubber outsoles, so it’s also easy to adjust them for a better fit.

HOW THE PHOTOS WERE CAPTURED:
These photographs were taken by Sue Hanson during her career as a geologist. This is the process in Sue's words:
After cutting and roughly trimming with a diamond tipped saw the rock is slowly cut, ground and then polished to a thickness of 0.03mm (30µm). Using resin to hold this incredibly thin slice of rock onto a glass slide the constituent minerals are now ready to be viewed under a polarising microscope. The diagnostic colors produced by projecting various wavelengths of light through the rock sliver, in conjunction with mineral shape and its association with other minerals are used to determine the mineral type. The diagnostic colors and shape of the mineral can also tell the experienced petrologist the approximate chemical composition of the mineral.
