    Does anyone know of a cobbler or other store in Milwauke (or the area) which will dye White Satin shoes (so far I've just found a guy who only does silk shoes...and he left ink stains on my white shoes! The Horror!)? Or Alternatively, does anyone know of a place online I can ship my shoes to inordered to get them dyed and have them back within a week?!

    You could try RIT dye. I used that on my shoes, they wernt "dyeable" so it tinted them. There is a place online I cant remember what the site is but I dont think they are that quick and only take "dyeable" shoes

    @mishelleez: How exactly do you use the Rite Dye to dye shoes? Will it be set or will it rub off on everything it touches (Oh my gosh, if it rubbed off on my dress I'd be upset!).

    I did what the package said to go in a 5 gal bucket. after you take them out of the dye you need to keep rinse them until the water is clear. I have seen some other girls put them in the dye bath 2 times to get the color darker.

    I put stones on my shoes after but im sure you could spray them with scotch guard or something after to lock the color in.
