I love that you did this and shared the process with us. Will have to consider this. I have a saturated lemon yellow Kate Spade purse. Trying to decide if I should dye it or sell it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394464 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 23:44:59 +0000 Jaime 2394464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous color!

What I call Kelly Green, although that is up for debate. The color of pool tables, and the traditional lamp above the pool table.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394457 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 22:06:34 +0000 LJP 2394457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great job you did! &nbsp;I had those same blue Eccos and finally passed them on a year or two ago. I just never wore them. &nbsp;Anyways - this is a great colour for your new dress :).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394455 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 21:38:47 +0000 Bonnie 2394455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn67, Roberta, merwoman, Nadine, Joyce B: Thank you so much for your kind comments. It was so easy that I thought I should share my experience.&nbsp;</p> <p>Brooklyn: The whole process was easy. My shoes were suede so I used a water color brush to apply the dye. The prep was a good brushing to clean and prepare the shoes for dying.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie: Kibbee is a mystery to me, too. I think it has something to do with being short but not petite, a balanced yin and yang, and a sense of humor.</p> <p>Indigoprint: The cost of the dye and a set of water color brushes came to about $12.00 so I saved money, too.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394448 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 21:10:06 +0000 Indigoprint 2394448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lovely color green!<br /> Fun to have a new pair of shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394446 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 21:01:00 +0000 Angie 2394446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bonnie</b>, I'm unsure what a Flamboyant Gamine is supposed to wear wrt Kibbe analogy - yet you look KILLER perfect in this outfit, so whatever that means - please carry on ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394444 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 20:49:26 +0000 Brooklyn 2394444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!

I’ve dyed a few garments with advice from lovely Brooklyn, but I’ve yet to attempt shoes.

What do you think?</p> <p>Mirjana: Thank you for your kind comment.</p> <p>Irina: Thank you, that is high praise!!</p> <p>Firecracker: Thank you, the color I chose was Kelly Green and I think it will go well with many of my outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>JAileen: &nbsp;Thank you, I think the hardest part of the project was choosing a color and I'm glad it worked out.&nbsp;</p> <p>mcchannen: Thank you, dying garments seems like it would be more difficult than dying the shoes. I just daubed and used a brush to dye the shoes which were suede. I didn't even need to wear gloves.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394412 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 17:23:25 +0000 mcchannen 2394412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impressive!

I guess it would since my DNA showed 4% Irish.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lise: Thank you, the blue shoes had been worn over 150 times (I track wears) and were looking faded and scruffy even though the photo shows a bright blue, they did not look that way.&nbsp;</p> <p>cat2: Go ahead and dye those jeans. Be sure and tell what your experience was like, because I'd like to try that, too. </p> <p>Dee: Thank you, it was a lot easier than I had imagined. Glad you like my new dress.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394398 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 16:11:37 +0000 Dee 2394398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouu.. what a fun project, worked out really well too.

Well done!

You look lovely I love green, well I would &nbsp;being Irish. &nbsp;Well done the shoes look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dyed-my-shoes-1#post-2394391 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:47:54 +0000 Bonnie 2394391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of my shoes seemed to work with my new dress so I decided to try dying an older pair that were not being worn. I've not done anything like this before and I'm not crafty but it was easy. I ordered dye from Angelus, did the prep, dyed them, and I like the way they turned out. It<br />took two coats, 24 hours apart, and each coat took less that a load of clothes in my washer. The first photo shows finished product, the middle photo shows after first coat but not yet dry. The last photo is of my new summer sale dress that is brightening up the last half of the season.&nbsp;</p>
