Shoe dyeing?

Any rec's for reasonably priced shoe dyeing in austin? I am looking to make my ivory coloriffics shoes an olive green.

Austin Shoe Hospital - they did my shoes green and the soles blue like a pair of inspiration LV's I found. You can see PIB of them! Usually only white satin can take dye though. They may not come out the exact color you select if they are Ivory - but if anyone can do it they can. Good luck!

I got mine done at David's Bridal after getting some recs on here and it was so cheap... Like $5 a shoe I think? Something like that. I got mine in green, too (a similar green to the color of the "add post" button here on this page, haha). I was really happy with the way the color turned out.

kelsey, were they shoes you had purchased at db? i heard they will only dye their own shoes

I got some done at Austin Shoe Hospital and they did a good job, but it was like $40. I'd like to know if DB will dye shoes purchased elsewhere since I need to get another pair of shoes dyed (I've decided that I want ivory for the ceremony, and the purple for the reception only), and I think I'm going to get some shoes dyed purple for a BM, but don't want to pay $40 a pop!

Thx Kelsey! Yeah, mine were not as $$ as P2P says hers was for some reason. I had both the shoes and the soles done and the toal with tax was under $50 - so I'd assume just dying was about $20 as doing the soles was around $25. I took mine to the location on Burnett.

I did buy mine at DB. It seems like someone on here told me they had theirs dyed there without buying them there. I am not sure though...?

Btw, I went to the south location. I no longer live in Austin and am drawing a blank on the intersection, but it's off Ben White in a shopping center. Brodie, maybe?

Thanks ya'll! I sent my shoes back to white (I misordered in the first place). Also, I called DB and they said they have to be shoes purchased at DB. Sucks because we got all my BMs dresses from there and I would love to have had the color of my shoes match perfectly. Oh well, I guess I will look into the shoe hospital. Thanks ya'll!
