Is it possible to dye suede boots?

joshieg3011

I have a pair of cream suede biker-style boots with sheepskin lining. They look really dirty and marked (I have tried washing them in the machine).

Has anyone ever dyed a pair of suede boots before (and, if so, what kind of dye did you use and did it work?!!)

Many thanks

I think you can buy a Dylon stick to dye suede I can't find a thread on dyeing, but this might help - Cleaning Suede.

Hi Penny,

Many thanks for your reply - just wanted to salvage these boots as I love them and they look perfect (apart from the dirty marks due to them being so light in colour!) Will have a look at this.

Thanks again,

Donna

I have a pair of suede or nubuck type slip on shoes in quite a bright tan. I never wear them because of the colour but they could be very useful if I could dye them.

Is this possible, what should I use and how do I do it? Would there be any colours that would work better (ie black or dark brown, would they 'take' over the tan)?

thanks for any advice

I think you cn, but the last thread on this subject didn't get any more relies than that As this thread has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll merge it and see if you get any more replies.
