Question Dyeing your own shoes

I'm fast running out of time to sort my shoes out and dye them red (cos I'm a dozy cow seeing as I've had them since Feb and had picked out the red colour I want back in the summer)

I can send them back to the company I bought them from or another website to have them dyed for just under £20 but I need my shoes for my fitting on Jan 14th. With Xmas in-between I'm worried they won't be back in time. If I wait until after my fitting to send them off, it's then cutting it fine to get them back in time for the wedding.

I've rung around loads of local shops and they will only dye your shoes if you bought them from there in the first place. I've rung the people making my dress and they are out of suggestions too.

So... has anyone ever dyed their own shoes? Was it easy? Did you get the shade you wanted? Otherwise, all alternative suggestions and ideas gratefully received

I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.
