Can I dye canvas shoes that already have a pattern on them? If you decide to tie dye your sneakers using the wet method, your first step is to dampen your shoes by running them under water (no preferred temperature here). Some canvas shoes have a slight protective coating to prevent staining, so be sure that all of the fabric is wet to the touch. This method may be better with non-shoe canvas items than with shoes but here are the steps you need to take. First, wash the shoes to get the dirt and other impurities off of it. Let the shoes air dry but leave damp.

Next, fill your washer and add the dye and the shoes. The dye can go in the detergent spot and start the cycle once that has been done. Now pour in the hot water and this is a 1 to 1 water to dye ratio.
