Who here has dyed fabric shoes before?
I have these sandals that I love; the sole/heel are still in great condition, but the upper, which is a cream-colored fabric, is looking a little worn - the fabric is still in good shape, but it is very hard to keep cream fabric (perhaps a woven satiny type upper) clean. So I was thinking of dyeing them if possible, but I've never done it before and the nearest cobbler is a half hour away and really not that good.

Has anyone here dyed shoes before? What did you use? Any suggestions? Help is appreciated! :hi:

1. I've done it...
it's been a while. I do remember that I used RIT, though.

2. OK -- I was thinking of finding some RIT, and a good
paintbrush -- there isn't much fabric b/c they're sorta strappy sandals. I'll wander through a crafts store this weekend and see what I can find.

Thanks!

We sell a lot of their products, and people seem to like them, especially the Grisson sprays. It's made for shoes, and the materials shoes are made of.
