I have a pair of shoes that I would like to dye. I attempted to use a liquid dye but the color was repelled by the composition of the outside of the shoe & the dye did not penetrate the shoe. I'm not exactly sure of the composition but I think it may be an acrylic like material. Can anyone suggest a remedy? Thank you.
Have you thought of painting them? Use acrylic paints (small bottles from craft store) mixed with textile medium (also from craft store). good luck. I've done this successfully with leather shoes. I did not heat set but I suppose I could have (try a blowdryer if you are not comfortable putting in oven).
