    So I bought the Cole Haan Air Rose shoes and wanted to dye them blue and was very paranoid they would turn out awful after being so expensive (even on huge sale) but they turned out absolutely perfect. So for any brides wondering if you can succesfully dye Cole Haan bridal shoes, yes you can.

    ohh they are lovely! The color is great!

    I have Cole Haans too that I would like to dye - where did you take them to get them done? I'm not even sure who to call about this sort of thing....

    @gabrielleelise1981: My mom took them for me to a small, family-run business in my parents' town in CT. I'd look for a small business (a cobbler perhaps) that specializes in dyeing because they tend to do better work. I also had a satin swatch of the exact color blue I wanted for them to use to match it and they matched it exactly. I'm really impressed with the quality of the work and I think that is because the business has been in the family for three generations now and they are really dedicated to what they do. Those are the people that tend to give you the best results, at least that's what I've found.

    @Kittyachi: Thanks for the info! I definately like to shop smaller, family run businesses - because like you said, they tend to care more about what they do.

    I'll have to check and see if we have a cobbler in our area (we must). thanks! And again, LOVE the color!

    Those are beautiful.  The shoes are awesome, but then the color.  WOW is all I can say.  That color is so rich.

    Those are fan-freaking-tastic!  LOVE them!  I remember seeing those when they first came out and thinking how PERFECT they'd be if they were blue.  :)
