Common Questions
Can you dye any type of shoe?
While we specialize in the undyeable, suitability depends on the material, construction, and finish. We recommend an individual assessment to determine if your item is a candidate for a colour transformation.
What is the turnaround time?
The current standard turnaround time is approximately 28 days from receipt of the item, subject to assessment and confirmation of the project details.
Do you offer DIY solutions?
Yes. Our SDD Colour Lab range provides professional colour technology for home use. We offer detailed preparation guidance and product instructions for every material.
How do I choose the right product?
Always select the correct product for your specific material. Each SDD Colour Lab product has its own QR-linked support and detailed preparation guidance for optimal results.
What about embellished items?
Embellished and mixed-material footwear require careful handling. We assess each item individually to ensure that the transformation respects the original construction and finishes.
Preparation
Material suitability is paramount. We assess the grain, finish, and construction of each item to determine the most effective dyeing method. Preparation includes thorough cleaning and surface treatment to ensure a professional, long-lasting transformation.
Aftercare
Proper maintenance preserves the vibrancy of your new colour. We recommend using SDD Colour Lab's protective top coats and avoiding direct sunlight or high-heat environments. Following our specific care instructions ensures your transformation remains flawless.
