I didn't want to give up on the red soles just yet, so I decided to paint the soles of my grey suede Vaneli pumps red. I know it is frowned upon to do this in the fashion community but what can a girl do if the originals do not fit well!?
I purchased red paint from Save Your Sole and with a disposable brush, I carefully painted away! I am meticulous and pretty good at artsy projects, so I did not use any tape to cover the suede part of the shoes. It was actually pretty simple. I painted 1-2 coats and let it dry overnight. The paint dried quickly (within minutes) but I just wanted to be on the safe side. Then I finished it off by putting clear Sole Stopperz. Not too bad, right?
The enamel paint is water based according to their website, so I wonder what would happen if I walk out in the rain or step in a wet spot. (I wouldn't wear suede out in a rain but you never know what could happen!) I sent them an email asking about that but they have not responded to me as of now.
