Can suede on shoes be dyed?

Question

My husband wants to dye his a darker color so the stains dont show.

Answer 1

Hi, yes, he can dye the shoes. Go to a reputable bootmaker and ask them for the special dye. Don't use ordinary shoe dye on the suede because it will harden the suede and ruin the shoes. Regards.

Answer 3

Can You Dye Suede Shoes

Answer 4

Yes! I had these old brown suede shoes, they had stains everywhere, they were so ancient! I dyed them darker, and the stains couldn't be seen. The fact that the shoes are suede isn't a problem, but be sure to get the right dye.

Answer 6

Hello, they can be dyed but always with a darker color than your shoe has. You also have to do it with a proper "ink" and try to spread it as evenly as you can, with a spray for example. There are some products that are specific for it - try looking for Meltonian products within the US - and it is also important to have the shoes cleaned up before dying. (you can do it by yourself - just pick up an used toothbrush and try brushing the suede). here goes meltonian´s URL: http://www.meltonian.com/

Answer 7

Only if it's very light because suede is pre-dyed leather and takes a professional leather tanner to do so.

Answer 8

I would check with a store like Red Wing Shoes before attempting that feat. They sell mainly high quality work boots and are one of the best at treating to make waterproof and dying.

Answer 9

yes they can.If you take them to a shoe shop they will help .But if the shoes are old and little worn out they won't help you.To keep suede looking new I personal use water proofer and a baby brash.Hope this helps

Answer 10

I'm sure they can be dyed. Look for a special dye that won't bleed through the shoe for the best look. Good luck...
