dyeable shoe or not????

I think finding a regular dyeable shoe is the best way to go. 1) It's a shoe you will be wearing only for a few hours. 2) It can be hard to find a shoe in a specific color.

I'm actually thinking of doing the same thing; but my FSIL told me one time she dyed shoes and when they got wet the color bleed.

I'm not sure if her dye job was bad or if it actually happens to a lot of dyed shoes. But it is definitely much cheaper than the majority of blue dress shoes out there.

That happened to my mom once too w/ dyeable shoes.. so I would watch where you get them from.

I can't remember where hers were from though, as it was awhile ago.

Hmm...well if it is raining....I could always buy a pair of slippers or flip flops to wear outside and put the shoes on inside or whenever its dry...sounds like a plan???

I think that sounds like a plan. It's just a pair of shoes, they aren't going to make or break your big day ya know?

yea that's what i thought....and i seriously don't want to spend loads of money on a shoe that's already blue and its hard to find the blue that i want too..so this way, I can customize it ya know

I think you are being very smart about it. :) Do you have a place in mind to get it done?

thanks! there's a place in port washington near my sisters house...i think its called after five?? I know that they dye shoes there and i've heard that they do a great job...
also someone told me that there is a place in patchogue but i don't know where or what its called...i will have to research it a little.
