Michaels has shoe paint at their stores. Maybe you can check and see if that would work.

I guess it is "fake" leather because it does have the fabric layer underside. You would think Naturalizer would use the real thing. I'm disapointed, but then this means I can color it, correct? I'm going to try it. I will visit the shoe repair shop for his advice in person just to see. Thank you all for the advice.

Is the sandal really leather, or synthetic? Look at any exposed edges you can find. Plastic leather is plastic bonded onto a fabric, like fake suede, for the underside. Look for that fabric layer. Worst came to worst, I would just do the experiment, and if it flopped it flopped.

I am surprised he didn't have the product that you spray on shoes to change their color. We have used that numerous times at our house. Our shoe repairman sells it in his shop.

Why no trust for the shoe repair guy who's business it is to know leather? He's right. Your sandal leather is treated, and thus, unsuitable for dying.
If you need a second opinion, check phone listings in and around your city's area for a Tanner. They would carry a (expensive) product that can prepare untreated leather for dying, but it still likely wouldn't work for your shoes. :(
