Hello,
I tried David's Bridal and didn't have luck.  Any suggestions on places with a decent variety of dyeable shoes?

    myglassslipper has a store in Old Town Alexandria, but they are in the higher price range.  Payless also has a line of dyeable shoes.

    I just ordered my shoes off Amazon (you could also try zappos or the colorrifics or dyeables websites) and brought them to a local shoe repair place to be dyed.  (http://www.alexandriashoe.com/)

    My Glass Slipper in Alexandria is closed.  I tried checking them out earlier.  However, I didn't know about alexandriashoe!  That is great!

    Has anyone tried Hannelore's?

    I went to Hannelores dress shopping, their prices are jacked up (at least for dresses) so I would imagine that their shoes are going to be over priced - seriously I found a dress there for 2850, when another store sold the exact same dress for 2299 (its MSRP)

    Alexandria shoe is just a repair/dye place.  But I do recommend them if you end up buying dyeables online or retail. 

    When I was looking for a place to bring my shoes, I read a few bad reviews about Hannelore's dyeing jobs, but I don't have any personal experience.
