Ladies Sandals

[jennyjoan]

I have above as in Rieker - I bought them last year and are quite comfortable. Unfortunately they are too outlandish in colour and so I'd like to dye them one colour. Any advice please.

[calmck]

What material and what colour are they

[Cloverjo]

If they’re leather you can easily dye them any colour you like, whatever the original colour.
You can buy the dye from hardware shops or shoe repairers.

[jennyjoan]

you know like suedy/leather.

[jennyjoan]

oh - one strap white, one pale grey and one strap maroon.

[jennyjoan]

cos they were a little expensive - I don't want to mess about with them

[calmck]

Dylon do shoe dyes. I have not used this but have been pleased with the results using their other dyes on clothes

[pastafreak]

A shoe repair shop might be able to advise as to what is possible.

i used a dye on a pair of shoes some years ago, was ok until it rained, as the dye came out on my feet. it wasn't a cheap dye, probably a well known brand.

[jennyjoan]

thanks all - that's a good idea Pasta - there's a lovely approachable fella a few miles away - shoemaker. I'll call there tomorrow.

That is a good make you've got jj and I notice so many people walking in my local park wearing really jazzy coloured footwear. Go for it girl, leave them as they are;-))

[emmie]

that is what i would do, leave them and jazz them up with some colourful clothing.

[jennyjoan]

thanks LB - I don't mind outlandish colours and in my yesteryear I did crazy mix and match in clothes, but have never been comfortable wearing these as in colour. I'll see what the shoemaker says.

Id say leave them as they are. Everybody wears nice bright clothes and sandals these days. Its normal. I think they sound lovely.

[Georgiesmum]

They dont sound outlandish at all. They just sound normal
