DISCOUNT BRIDAL SHOES offers the best wedding shoes at the best prices exclusively from Colorful Creations. Since these dyeable shoes (dyable shoes) are for special occasions such as your bridal party or prom you will want your dyeable (dyable) items to be the proper color. We do not offer a dyeing service online due to the tricky nature of dyeing shoes. Dyeing shoes is an art and not a science. When matched and dyed properly, you will have a beautiful accessory to your dress. To ensure your satisfaction with the dyeing process have your shoes dyed in your hometown and follow the helpful hints listed below.
1 - Not everyone who mixes colors is good at it! Because of this always insist on approving your color before your items are dyed. Ask your dyer to put his mixed color on the test material which is provided in each box. Now you will be able to see your color before it is dyed and you'll know exactly what your shoes will look like when they are finished.
2 - Dyed items look different from indoor to outdoor (natural) lighting. Shoes dyed peach, beige and taupe for example will look pinkish outside. Grey shoes 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 your dyer of the lighting at your affair. 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 your color. Once again you'll know exactly what you are getting.
3 - The dye applied to your shoes is water soluble. If your dyed items are exposed to water or heavy moisture the dye can bleed or stain. To prevent this use a water repellent spray on your shoes. The spray will not make your 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 shoes have sprayed the color is sealed in meaning you can not re-dye your shoes at a later date. If you choose not to spray your shoes you will be able to dye them a darker color at a later date if you so desire.
4 - Most shoe repair shops dye shoes. The cost varies from $5 to $15. Call around for the best price. If you bring someone 4 pairs or more that will be dyed all the same color you may also be able to negotiate a better price. It never hurts to ask!!!
