Don’t know if you’re aware of this newfangled thing called Google - but if you ask it where you can get shoes dyed it will magically produce a list of places - and also show you products that allow one to DIY.

You’ll find it on the Internet …

You could have just magically scrolled on by if you had no advice but you decided to be sarcastic and rude.
Confused

Did you need to be so patronising, though?

Nah. It’ll never catch on 😜

Trainors · 19/01/2025 09:16

Why navy? There is something very outdated about a navy shoe! I think the tan or blush would go with most outfits.

sophied88 · 19/01/2025 09:26

Hey OP - have you tried a Google image reverse search? May not give you navy but might show you very similar shoes on sale and thus navy on some sites. Good luck!

Purplecatshopaholic · 19/01/2025 09:30

Oh dear god op, please don’t buy these monstrosities! In any colour, lol. There must be something somewhere that is less hideous/ugly/old-fashioned/all of the above..

@BlanklyMyDear @Whydoeseveryonewanttoargue @InactionIsAWeaponOfMassDestruction
Thanks for this on a Sunday morning 🙏 like the Mumsnet of ten years ago when it was funny every day and people read 'humour' into the text before they read 'rude' because humour was the default setting.
Fantastic user names by the way. 👌

Have a look on the Next Website. I think some of the styles by the brand Pavers might be close to what you're looking for.

Just say that then, dont be an arsehole

I wouldnt have thought of dying them, used to try to do that in my teens and it never worked properly

Kayemm · 19/01/2025 10:52

Wow 🤣

OP posts:
Kayemm · 19/01/2025 10:58

Anyhow

Don't fancy paying £50 for a pair of shoes (I googled and found them cheaper 🤣) for them to be unwearable due to a bad dye job.

The shoes and my choice of colour may be outdated/ugly/hideous/old fashioned but that does mean that they could well be the perfect fit for me and my wardrobe 😉

Navy shoes are very hard to find.

My daughter has been looking for ages for them.

I refuse to wear black with navy. It just looks so awful.

what size are you OP

GogAndMagog · 19/01/2025 11:52

The white ones are cheaper and you can dye them navy.

I recommend Angelus dye!

Ignore the haters. It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it!!

GogAndMagog · 19/01/2025 11:57

Oh sorry white sold out.

Put a search on eBay set up alerts.
And wait.

WednesdaysChild25 · 19/01/2025 13:13

I can’t wear it in any shape or form it reminds me of my school uniform.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 19/01/2025 13:14

Sorry but they're awful

Don’t be ridiculous !, very few people want to buy shoes to just then dye them as the dyeing process might not be successful / may not turn out exactly the colour you want them and then you are stuck with them!
Dyeing old shoes maybe but not brand new!
