About this deal

If the shoes you are dyeing have a pattern or logo, the color you use will mix with the existing color(s) in the fabric and create new colors. In other words, the rules of color mixing apply. When selecting a color, think about how it will mix with the colors in the pattern. For example, if you were to use a blue dye on a white pair of shoes with a pink flower pattern, the pink flowers will turn purplish (blue and pink make purple) while the rest of the shoes will dye blue. Even if you were to overdye the patterned shoes with a dark color, you may find that the color will appear lighter along the patterned area. To enhance the color and reduce color bleeding, use Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative immediately after dyeing and before washing, following these instructions. We recommend doing this with the spray method.

Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer (roughly 180 degrees Fahrenheit). Wait until the pot is at a simmer before proceeding to Step 5. Fill a plastic container or stainless steel sink with three gallons of hot water. The water should ideally be 140°F 60°C. If tap water is not hot enough, heat water on the stove and add to the dyebath.For a smooth transition from dark to light: Take a damp cloth and gently rub the color, blurring any harsh lines to create a smooth transition from light to dark. Dip the cloth into a watered down cup of dye if needed. For all leather products (shoes, handbags, belts, purses and any other leather accessories), synthetic leather and canvas Wearing rubber gloves, add 1/2 cup 120 mL of well-shaken Rit All-Purpose Liquid Dye to the dyebath. If you are trying achieve a very dark or bold color, double the dye quantity. Let the sneakers air-dry. The drying time required will depend on the sneaker. However, expect to wait roughly 12 to 24 hours. Continue to brush dye evenly onto the sides and top of the shoe. When dipping brush in dye, always dab it on paper towels before applying to shoe.

Test color by dipping a paper towel into the dyebath. If color is too light, add more dye. If color is too dark, add more water. Add in the marigold powder and walnut powder. Continue to stir until the alum, iron mordant, marigold powder and walnut powder have dissolved. The water should be a yellowish-brown colour. Wearing rubber gloves, mix 1 tablespoon 15 mL of well-shaken Rit All-Purpose Dye with 1 cup 240 mL of very hot tap water. If tap water is not hot enough, heat water on the stove. Stir well.Before dyeing, remove any visible stains on the shoes. This will help achieve uniform color results when dyeing. Pre-wash item in warm, soapy water without any fabric softener. This helps to remove any finishes that may interfere with dye absorption. To apply dye, dip foam brush into dye. Dab on paper towels. (This will prevent dye from dripping or running.) Then brush dye onto dry shoe, starting in the heel area. We like to start on the heel to make sure we are satisfied with the color. Use a scrap piece of fabric to wipe off any drips or unwanted dye. Use Q-tips to apply dye in narrow or hard-to-reach areas. Using the tongs, carefully place the shoes in the pot of simmering water, one at a time, until both are submerged. Cover work area with plastic table cover and have paper towels handy to protect against any possible spills.
