In reply to Ruby. I think gloss or satin is best

Hi! Does the finish of the spray paint matter? i.e. satin, gloss, matte

This is amazing, I never knew Rustoleum paint would work for dipping shoes. Does is leech when it gets wet, like onto socks? Thanks for the ideas, great guide.

In reply to Laura Given. If you look at the step out photos, we fill them with tape and paper.

What do you do to stop the paint getting inside the shoes during dipping?

In reply to Jen. All of the paint stuck to the plastic bin when we were done, so the water was clear. We just emptied it in the yard.

How did you dispose of the paint water after you finished?

In reply to Beth Saltzberg. We have only done it with new shoes. So my guess is yes

In reply to CHARLENE bari. We have not needed to wash them. Any spots we just remove with a damp cloth. My son has worn his for a year and it has not been a problem.

Did the shoes hold up to washing them either by hand or in the washing machine?
