1
Cut a hole in the shoes sole large enough to contain a cell phone. This may be very difficult if using a loafer like the one in the show. Using a sneaker with a sponge sole may work even better.
-
2
Place and secure the cell phone inside the hole. You should not use liquid adhesive to do this as it will likely damage the phone. Use adhesive strips.

3
Create a false bottom cover to fit over the phone. This could be done with the material cut out to make the hole. If you have an older shoe of the same type, use its sole.
-
4
Secure the cover onto the shoe in a way that it can be removed easily. Velcro strips may work well. Cut a tab in the heel that you can pull for removal.
-
5
Cut a hole in the cover so sound from the phone can get through. This is so you know when the phone rings. Use the location of the phone to determine the best place for the hole.

Tips & Warnings
If you dare try to wear the shoe phone, make sure the cover will protect the phone. Make sure the sound hole won't get dirt or dust into the phone. Don't wear it in wet conditions.
Also remember that the cover will make the shoe phone higher than the other shoe. You'll probably need to add a cover to the other shoe to increase its height.
Don't wear the shoe if you can help it. You will surely damage the phone walking on it.
