Can you tie-dye Vans shoes?Name:

Message: I know you answered a question on Converse, but can you use the same instructions on Vans shoes? It does not matter what brand the shoes are, as long as they are made of cotton canvas, or another natural-fiber canvas such as linen or hemp. You can follow this link for instructions for tie-dyeing shoes. Make sure to do the water-resistance test first, as indicated in those instructions, because you cannot dye anything that is water-resistant. If, however, the shoes are made from a synthetic material, your only option is to paint them. I recommend a good fabric paint such as Lumiere (to create metallics and pearl colors), Neopaque (for covering up existing stains or colors), or Dye-Na-Flow (a fabric paint which flows like a dye).
