Tips for Women's Dyeable Shoes
While many of the following tips seem to be little more than common sense, we understand that preparing for a wedding or other special event can be stressful, and it's easy to forget even obvious details during this period. Our considerable experience has resulted in our knowing some of the difficulties people can encounter while searching for dyeable shoes online. Before you make your final shoe selection, there are a number of things to consider, and after you've purchased your dyeable shoes, there are some further considerations as well:
- Ensure that your dyer has experience dying shoes: This seems elementary, but shoe dyeing is an art, and if your dyer hasn't had experience with dyeable evening shoes you may end up with less than satisfactory results and not enough time to address them. In addition, prepare to give your dyer two or three weeks to finish your shoes; ask up front for an estimated completion date, so you won't be surprised.
- Different types of light can affect the color of your dyeable shoes: The color of your shoes is going to look different whether you're in natural or artificial light; for example, gray wedding shoes can take on a bluish tint if you're out in the sun. Be sure to let your dyer know the specifics of your ceremony or event, so he or she can plan accordingly.
- Your dress and your dyeable shoes should be the same type of fabric: This is of more concern to bridesmaids or promgoers, as most brides' dresses and shoes are white or ivory, both very forgiving colors. That said, if your dress is a shiny fabric such as satin, and your dyeable shoes are matte, they won't look as though they're the same color.
- If you're dyeing a number of shoes, have them dyed at the same place at the same time: Dyeing is an imperfect science. The best way to ensure that a number of pairs of dyeable shoes (say, for your bridesmaids) come out looking as similar as possible is to have them all dyed together.
- Test your color: When you have chosen your color, have your dyer test the dye on a swatch of fabric that matches your dyeable shoes. While no color is going to match exactly, it's important that you are comfortable with your choice and that you're able to get as close to a match as possible.
- Shoe dye can bleed or stain: Shoe dye is water-soluble, so if your dyed shoes get wet, the color can bleed. This can be addressed with a waterproofing spray; however, keep in mind that once your dyeable shoes are sprayed, they can't be redyed.
- Relax: Remember that you are your dyeable shoes' harshest critic--no one is going to be putting your shoes, your dress, and every other component of your wedding ensemble under as close and unforgiving scrutiny as you are. Preparing for a wedding, prom, or other formal event can be very stressful; there's no reason to burden yourself with additional stress concerning your shoes.
- Contact My Glass Slipper: We have years of experience with women's dyeable shoes, and in selling dyeable shoes online, so please don't hesitate to contact one of our knowledgeable representatives with any questions regarding My Glass Slipper's dyeable shoes.

Be sure to plan ahead, and order your dyeable evening shoes well in advance of your upcoming event. Most of our wedding or prom shoes will ship within three days after we receive the order; however, if a shoe needs to be specially ordered, the process could delay shipping 2-3 weeks. The most important and generally the first deadline you have to meet is your first dress fitting, as the seamstress or tailor will need you to wear your shoes for measurements in order to be able to properly hem your dress. Then add the two to three weeks for the dyeing process, and plan accordingly.
