alchshoes — Women's Footwear LoRA for Krea 2

A LoRA for women's shoes and boots of every kind: pumps, sandals, mules, wedges, boots up to the thigh, and ornate jeweled / fantasy shoes. Use the trigger word alchshoes right before the shoe type.

What it does well

• Realistic, well-shaped heels: stilettos, block heels, platforms, wedges.

• Jeweled and fantasy shoes: crystals, chains, filigree, sculpted ornaments. This is where it shows its strongest effect over the base model.

• Strappy and lace-up sandals, wedges, tall boots.

• Glossy patent leather, satin, suede and metallic finishes.

What it does NOT do (honest notes)

• It is not a miracle. The base model already draws classic shoes well. This LoRA mainly pushes style and detail.

• It leans toward sandals. The dataset contains many open-toe shoes. With closed classic shoes (closed mules, pumps, peep-toes) it may add straps or open the shoe up. For those, lower the strength to 0.4–0.5 or turn it off, and always write "closed toe" in the prompt.

• Sometimes it makes feet too veiny or bony at high strength.

• Small shoes in wide full-body shots get little detail. Use a legs shot when the shoe matters.

• It does not reproduce specific brands or designer models.

Usage

Trigger and prompt structure. Follow the caption format the LoRA was trained on:

a pair of [color] [material] alchshoes [shoe type] with [heel] and [toe/detail]

Example:

Full-body shot of a woman standing in a sunlit city street, navy knee-length dress, a pair of black patent leather alchshoes pointed pumps with stiletto heels, closed pointed toe, no straps

• Heeled sandals: ankle-strap heeled sandals, lace-up heeled sandals, thigh-high lace-up sandals, platform sandals, wedge sandals

• Flats: flat sandals, slides, ballet flats, loafers, sneakers, espadrilles

Recommended settings

Strength0.8 (0.9–1.0 for jeweled/fantasy, 0.4–0.5 for closed classic shoes)FormatPortrait, about 1.5–2 MP (e.g. 1088×1936). Landscape tends to produce two women side by side. Very high resolutions (6 MP) create texture artifacts on the floor.Framing"Full-body shot" for the look; "Legs shot" or "Legs shot from the hips down" for shoe detail.

Tips

• Don't write "sexy": describe what makes the shoe sexy (very high stiletto heels, thin straps, glossy patent leather, platform sole).

• For fantasy designs, use featuring and place the ornament on the shoe: "featuring a sculpted gold dragon coiling around the heel". This works much better than "with a dragon".

• Use one theme per shoe.

• For lace-only sandals, write made only of thin round cord laces … bare skin visible between every lace, otherwise the model adds wide bands.

• For tall lace-ups and boots, add bare legs and a short dress or a high slit so the shoe isn't hidden.

Training details

• Base: Krea 2. Tested on a Krea 2 finetune, 12 steps.

• Dataset: 405 real photos, no renders or illustrations.

  • The photos are mostly worn shoes, with some product shots.

  • Captions use a fixed class vocabulary.

• Training: musubi-tuner, LoRA rank 32 / alpha 32, LR 1e-4, AdamW8bit, 3750 steps, resolution 768.

• Released file: the final checkpoint. It was compared at a fixed seed against the 2000 / 2500 / 3000 / 3500 checkpoints and the no-LoRA output. The final had the cleanest shapes and feet.
