We've had Sonali since 2009. Her meet outfit shoes are one of our favorites and they've gotten a lot of wear and tear. The blue coloring was starting to chip off and look dingy, so I decided to touch them up and this is how I did it.
Steps:
1. Clean the dirt off with a wipe or damp towel (don't rub too hard!)
2. Mix acrylic paint to the exact color that you need
3. Use a very small paintbrush to neatly paint over spots that have faded or chipped
4. Let dry
Here's the before and after shot of Sonali's shoes!
