I found this patch at Who.A.U for $10. They have the best patches for creative projects.
How to upgrade an old pair of loafers on a budget <----The steps are basically the same as in my prior post, but with just a few added ones that I've learned from doing this before.
Step 1: As you can imagine once I took off the patch there was left over residue, so I used sharp scissors to get it off.
Step 2: After getting leftover residue off, I used a lint roller to clean up.
Step 3: I didn't make it completely perfect because I'm going to put another patch right over it.
Step 4: I placed the patch in the desired spot and added stitch witchery in place to anchor.
Step 4: A cloth was placed over so heat wouldn't go directly on shoe. (Newly added step)
Step 5: STEAM IT UP! (Newly added step)Step 6: 1st shoe complete!
Step 7: Use a ruler to align with 2nd shoe (right) and repeat steps 1-6. (Newly added step)
FINAL LOOK
The above loafers were purchased at ALDO SHOES last season. They have a new version available online and in stores now.

Their website is under construction which is why I didn't link it however, etsy.com is always a good resource for unique items for arts and crafts projects. Try this link for some cool military patches that would look great on a pair of shoes http://www.etsy.com/search?q=military%20patches%20&view_type=gallery&ship_to=ZZ&min=0&max=0
