Ok, now the shoes. I was pointed towards these boots as I was assured they'd be ok. Now I'm not so sure as it's been mentioned in a couple of WIPs lately that the elastic part of these shoes is too wide. Please could I find out either way quickly please as these took a while to do? First the boots were stripped of all waxes, polishes and dye. First coat of white dye added with a sponge. Remaining layers and sealing liquids were applied by airbrush to produce the finished article. Applying the dye in this manner means that for all intents and purposes the shoes are now white and not white over black. They will not crack, peel or flake off their new colour. It was worth the time, effort and relatively expensive kit to achieve the look. On the plus side I've got enough materials to do quite a few more pairs should I ever feel the need.
