Hi ya'll,
I have plunged in to altering shoes with...well...both feet? Yes, I did say that out loud. I have plans for about six more projects and my first pair of painted boots sold to a friend within minutes of her seeing them.
One project will require gold leafing and I was wondering if there is a way to make the leafing more smooth like you see on mirror frames?

Yes, if you use the sheets of gold leafing instead of the flakes, you will get a smooth look. But DO practice first. I hear the sheets are a little tricky to work with! (You can get them at big craft stores.)
