Is there any way to repel shoes from absorbing the dyes from my pants?

Message: Is there anyway to repell leather/seude shoes(Lugz)from absorbing the dyes from my pants. I have ruined a pair of light yellow seude boots, and have dark blue dye on my white leather shoes, is there anyway to prevent this from happening? It seems no matter how many times the pants are cleaned it still transfers onto the shoes

The problem is not your shoes. The problem is your pants. They were improperly dyed, and should be returned to the manufacturer or the store from which you purchased them. Properly dyed garments do not ruin other garments with inadequately fixed dye.

I do not know of any product which can reliably repel dye crocking from another garment. I have no idea whether or not a product such as Scotchgard™ will help.
