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.

- 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.

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.

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!!!
