Information
about Dyeable Fabric Shoes
Dyeable
fabric shoes are made from fabric (either satin or crepe) that is designed
to be dyed with specially formulated dyes. They are best dyed using these
dyes, and not spray-painted or painted with DIY dye kits. Painting these
shoes causes them to lose their sheen or lustre, and the paint will cake. |

may watermark, whether dyed or not. This includes the effects of rain, slashes, or seepage from wet ground. A waterproofing spray ($16.75) is available that will make the shoe water resistant though not totally waterproof. Shoes that have had our
waterproofing spray applied can usually be redyed.

Other
Considerations
Shoes can be colour-matched to your fabric
sample or colour chart, but there
is no such thing as a perfect colour match. There are a number of reasons
that a dyed shoe will look different to the original colour swatch:
|
To
combat these challenges, colour matching is carried out in natural
daylight, and swatches are usually sent to customers for prior approval.
However, an element of risk is always present. Customers are
therefore advised that while every care and
effort is made to match the colour swatch provided, there may be occasions when an exact colour match cannot be achieved. Dyeing is undertaken at
the customer's risk. |
|
We
can also accept no responsibility for blemishes due to the manufacturing
process of the shoe itself. For example, the glue used in the shoes is not always visible until the shoes are dyed. |
