Make These for $19
Just a touch of neon will be office appropriate and enough to brighten your day.
I was hesitant of this "Pintrest" at first. I'm still not completely addicted. I prefer Stumbleupon, though they seem to think I'm only interested in reading the PETA blog. I hate the PETA blog. It upsets me terribly. So I can't look at Stumbleupon.
I came across this "pin" a few days ago. I'm not exactly a neon kinda girl, but these are cute. Plus, and I mean this in the most non-drug addict way possible, I love spray paint. I love spray painting things. I like the way it smells. I like the way it looks when you spray paint something. I was apparently a vandal in a past life.
First off, the cost:

Tape the shoes where you want the color. I taped plastic bags to the part I didn't want colored, just to ensure I didn't get paint on the back. I also taped the soles so it would look clean and professional.
Use two to three coats of spray paint, waiting 15-to-30 minutes between coats. Wait another hour after the last coat to dry and you're done.
