There are lots of dyeable shoe brands out there (Dyeables, Touch Ups, Colorifics, to name a few) - google dyeable shoes and you'll find tons. I had mine dyed at a shoe store that sells dyeable shoes. You can also try a local shoe repair shop. I believe Payless and David's Bridal both offer shoe dying, but you may have to buy their shoes to get this service.
I referred to it as apple green. I wish I had an exact name or color swatch to refer you to, but I don't :( I pretty much just eyeballed the color of all of the green elements I used. I'm sorry I'm not more help!
@atruedollface: I did wear them around a little before the wedding, mostly to scuff the bottoms. I also added some Foot Petals Heavenly Heels for a little extra padding. They aren't the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, but I found them comfortable enough that I stayed in them for the whole ceremony and reception. The heel on these is less than 2", which definitely helped :)

This is the exact color I want to use as an accent!

posted by owlbride 2 years agoThank you! I'm sure I'll have to eyeball the green colors as well. I was just looking for a starting place and apple green helps!
posted by SandyGee 2 years agoOhhhh! I love those shoe clips! I've been thinking about using clips since I've been having such a hard time finding shoes with the look I want.
