IS THERE A WAY TO REMOVE THE C0LOR FROM BLACK SHOES AND THEN DYE THEM.


Name: Janet
Message: I have A PAIR OF BLACK FABRIC SHOES THAT i HAVE LOVED FOR YEARS AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING LIKE THEM.
I WANT TO WEAR THEM TO A WEDDING BUT BLACK WILL NOT WORK. IS THERE A WAY TO REMOVE THE C0LOR AND THEN DYE THEM. ANY SHADE OF LIGHT BROWN OR TAN WOULD WORK.

No. There is no way possible to bleach black shoes in order to make them white. The color will inevitably remain in the crevices and stitching of the shoes, leaving a mess. Bleach is also apt to destroy the shoes, if you try it anyway. The risk is high, and success is highly unlikely.

I'm afraid that you will just have to buy a new pair of shoes in the appropriate color.
