And I have to say that I'm rather pleased with the results Now I just need to scotchguard them so I don't end up with red feet
Here's a before and after shot - 'before' was shot in natural daylight whereas 'after' was shot under artificial light but that didn't seem to make too much difference.
It's not an exact colour match but it's close enough, and it only cost me £3!!

I hope that my child, looking back on today

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.
what a fab job you have done Laurie. Well done!!! looks great. they are lovely shoes and hopefully comfortable, with thick chunky heels. i made mistake of wearing stilettos on my wedding - oops
very good lauz you are brave attempting that on those shoes esp since they are not the cheapest of shoes if you cock up ! I wore Katrina by Katz for my wedding and they are very comfortable. the only thing i would suggest is to wear them round the house before hand (with a pair of socks over the top so you dont get them dirty) that way you will break them in a bit so they wont cripple you on the day.
well done you for doing a fab job of dying them
love

I used Dylon Satin Shoe Dye, which comes in 6 shades (I think) so the shade I used was red, obviously.
It was actually really easy, plus I always knew that if I mucked it up I still had the option of sending them off to get done professionally.

It is true that we don't know what we have till we lose it, but its also true that we dont know what we have been missing till it arrives
