Helpful Hints About Dyeing Shoes Below....

	1 - Not everyone who mixes colors for dyeing shoes is perfect! Everone see colors differently. Because of this always insist on approving your color before your shoes are dyed. Ask your dyer to put his mixed color on the test material which is provided in each box of dyeable shoes. Now you will be able to see your color before it is dyed and you'll know exactly what color your shoes will look like when they are finished.
	2 - Dyed items look different from indoor to outdoor (natural) lighting. Dyeing shoes peach, beige and taupe for example will look pinkish outside. Shoes dyed in grey can take on a purple tone outside. Color changes in different light settings is due to the fabric that is being dyed and simply can not be avoided. Inform the individual dyeing your shoes of the lighting at your affair, indoor or outdoor lighting. Also when you go to approve your color take the test material that your dyer put your color on and look at it in the appropriate lighting. This will allow you to see any variance in color and make you feel more comfortable about the color you are dyeing your shoes. Once again you'll know exactly what you are getting in the dyeing process.
	3 - Dyeing fabric dyeable shoes is not a waterproof process. The dye applied to your dyeable shoes is water soluble. If your dyed shoes are exposed to water or heavy moisture the dye can bleed or stain. To prevent this use a water repellent spray on your dyed shoes and bags. The spray is water resistant and will not make your dyed shoes fully waterproof but it is the best available protection against staining. The spray is sold at most shoe repair shops. It is fast drying and will not affect your color. Once your dyeable shoes have been sprayed the color is sealed in meaning you can not re-dye your shoes to a different color at a later date. If you choose not to spray your dyeable shoes you will be able to dye them a darker color at a later date if you so desire.
	4 - Most shoe repair shops have a dyeing service for dyeable shoes. The cost of dyeing shoes varies from $7 to $20. Call around for the best price for your dyeing needs. If you bring someone 4 pairs or more that you will be dyeing all the same color you may also be able to negotiate a better price. It never hurts to ask!!!
