I just bought some leather dye to try and salvage a pair of orphan shoes that would be absolutely perfect if they weren't white. I figured I'd give dyeing them a try, and if they get ruined, oh well. I wasn't wearing them anyway.

Unfortunately I can't find any instructions or information on how to get the best results. The shoes are distressed with a sort of cracked finish so I'm not sure if that influences things. There is also hardware on them, but I don't think it matters since it won't absorb the dye, which should theoretically come off easily. I'm also not sure if I need to take the colors into consideration. They're white and I'm dying them black, which is quite an extreme jump, so I don't know if it would need more than one pass. I also don't know if I need to seal the dye with a protector. It's very annoying that it doesn't come with instructions or tips!
