Does anyone know how to dye suede shoes? I have a pair of bright blue suede loafers that somehow look like bedroom slippers. I would like to change them to brown or even red. Help!

Not sure about bleaching back the color. But I came across this website when I was looking to dye my suede shoes. It give some good tips.

My attempt to dye my blue suede boots so that both would be equally blue has ended with a disaster. Any ideas what I can do to bleach the shoes? Now I just want the raw suede colour. Any advice on the bleach and methodology please. Many thanks!!!

I have got black oil all over my blue suede Adidas Gazelle trainers. Would jet black suded dye solve the problem should the oil not be able to come out?

I checked in with our local leather and saddle shop a while back with the same question.

I was told there is no way to do it and have it come out good. They checked and could find no solution.

Good luck and by all means let us know if you find a way.

How do you dye suede without making them look horrible. I would like to try and do it at home to avoide costy dying. But I'm not sure weather I will end up making them worse or not. Does anyone know a website I could go to that could walk me through it?

If you use bleach to remove the present colour the suede will probably turn yellow brownish. Perhaps if you use a product that the silk painter uses to remove colour it might do a better job. Try contacting Rainbow Silks in England. They carry all the products needed for fabric painting and dying. Tell them your problem, perhaps they can help. A friend of mine used fabric paint on her shoes and had set it with a hair dryer.
