No.. And I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you have no money to buy a pair of black running shoes.
Reply:Don't do it.They will eventually fade and look scabby.
Reply:No, I usually buy a new pair.

Reply:Don't listen to old sponge face. As long as you don't care if they get ruined if it goes wrong then give it a whirl. If anything it would be a laugh.
Reply:no i cant keep up with them....maybe walking shoes or better still loafers
Reply:I sincerely doubt that the dye will take


Running shoes are made from an assortment of non-absorbent materials (leather, nylon, etc) which will not accept the dye.


At best, you'll end up with gray shoes with white elements on them
Reply:nope, y would you wanna do that,y not buy a black pair
Reply:no, just buy black shoes
Reply:Yes, I did it three months back. Mine were kind of faded yellow and i applied black shoe polish (cherry brand). I applied a very think layer of polish and did it twice, once at night and once in next morning. Next, left it to dry for 12 hours and now it just looks like any other black shoes. No one could tell the difference and i am so happy because with my light coloured shoes, i had to keep them washing or clearning with every new blotch on it.
