Dyeable Shoes - The Answer To Your Shoe Dilemma

How many times have you gone shopping for shoes only to come home empty-handed. Sometimes, it just seems that you cannot find your shoe in the right color. You find a great looking shoe, but the color is all wrong. When it comes to shoes, an easy and inexpensive solution to this dilemma is dyeing. You can get the look you want simply by selecting a pair of dyeable shoes and designing them to fit any mood, occasion, or outfit. Whether you wear them as casual shoes, dress shoes, or sport them only on the most special of occasions, dyed shoes can perfectly complete your outfit.

Dyeable shoes come in a variety of style and fabric choices that are surprisingly unlimited. Begin by selecting shoes that are specifically manufactured with the intention of being dyed. Many shoes are made from fabrics that will repel rather than absorb water and therefore, dye. Some shoes are also treated with a scotch guard that will protect the shoe from becoming soiled, but it will also prevent the shoe from dyeing properly. Look for manufacturers like Coloriffics, Dyeables, Touch Ups, or Colorful Creations, who specialize in dyeable shoes. Many designer brands have a dyeable shoe collection. These shoes are made in dyeable fabrics like satin, silk satin, crepe, and boca. In addition to being available in a variety of fabrics, dyeable shoes are also available with a variety of detail from embroidery to beading, rhinestones, ribbons, or vinyl. Shop for shoes that are made to be dyed, look for the fabric that has the texture you want, and be charmed by the details.

Choose the fabrics and styles that appeal to you and are most suitable for your occasions. Whether you prefer sandals, tennis shoes, Mary Janes, platform shoes, or high heels, the style you want is available in a dyeable fabric today. After you’ve completed your search for the perfect prom dress, bridesmaid dresses, or bridal gown, the next challenge you face is finding the right shoes. For these occasions, you will probably want to select a formal dyeable shoe style.



Once you have selected your dyeable shoes, you can purchase a fabric shoe dye kit and carefully follow the kit’s instructions to do it yourself. A swatch of your shoe’s fabric can be dyed as a test to make sure you get the desired result. However, because achieving a color that is precisely right can be tricky, choosing to have your shoes dyed professionally is also an option you should consider. When purchasing dyeable shoes, inquire about in-store dying services. Additionally, most shoe repair stores will provide a dyeing service. Expect the price of having your shoes dyed professionally to vary between five and twenty dollars.


Carefully consider your color choices. In addition to the store’s light or natural light, make sure to examine colors in the light which you will be wearing your shoes. Choose a color that will closely match your outfit or you can choose a color that will complement your outfit in other ways. While it is the most obvious option, don’t feel like you have to get your shoes dyed the same color as your dress. For example, you could be a bit creative, and yet stay a bit more neutral, by choosing a silver dye to compliment a blue dress.

Get The Christian Loubitin look for less

When you see a woman walking down the street and notice that the soles of her shoes are red, what is your first thought? Well, for most women, the first thing that pops into their mind is Loubitin. Of course, Christian Loubitin shoe designs are best known for their red soles.

Now, when you see this woman walk into your office or shop, you are going to assume a few things.
1. She must come from or make a lot of money
2. She has great fashion sense
3. She might be an important person or even a celebrity who deserves maybe a little more respect than the average person.

Why? Because Christian Loubitin shoes are very expensive and very stylish. And while Christian Loubitin may design great shoes, these designs are not for everybody. The price tag on most of these designs is above our budget for even the most special of occasions.

But, there is an alternative! One thing to know about Loubitin shoes is that the label is not on the outside of the shoe, so if you wear an amazing looking shoe that just happens to have red soles, people may make the same assumptions about you that I referred to previously. And the best part is the price tag. You can look like a million bucks and spend less than 60.00 on your shoes.

These shoes(style FS-88396 ), designed by Helen's Heart, sell for only 56.95 at My Shoe Connection and can be worn with just about everything. The black and white leopard print adds a splash of "wild" while the four inch heel on a 3/4 inch platform says "classy". Wear them with your favorite pair of skinny jeans or show off your legs in a little black dress. Because they are black and white, they can match just about any outfit. And if you were wondering if they have any other colors, they also come in a brown/bronze.
