In the past, dyeing shoes had been a painful process that too often resulted in customer dissatisfaction. In many cases, technology prevented an associate from fully satisfying the customer's expectations for dyed merchandise by "exactly" matching her garment color. Rather, reduced dye capabilities often produced color matches that were claimed to be "within an acceptable tolerance" of the garment. This created a conflict between the ability to ensure close color matches, and the customer's desire for color coordination throughout her ensemble. (David's Shoe Dye manual, pg. 1)
Throughout the bridal industry, it's well known that glue and surface contaminants inhibit dye coverage. Unfortunately, the detection of these defects typically occurs after a shoe has been dyed. At this point the merchandise is typically discarded and the process begins again, with hope for better results.
To increase customer satisfaction and minimize profit loss, David's Bridal has instituted a rigorous pre-inspection process that allows surface contaminates to be detected prior to dyeing. Since the fabric of our shoes contains a special chemical called an optical brightener, they glow under ultraviolet light. Where glue is present, the fabric will not glow as brightly as in the surrounding areas. Therefore, newly provided Ultraviolet lamps allow the consultant to identify contaminants, prior to dye application. Unfortunately, this ultraviolet device is unable to detect surface oils and dirt. If shoes are tried on without foot stockings and there is a transfer of oils and perspiration to a dyeable portion of the shoe, those areas may dye a different color. Additionally, if a consultant has hand lotion or grease on her hands and attempts to dye, the dye may not cover the shoes evenly. For best results, consultants must have clean, oil-free hands when handling dyeable shoes. (David's Shoe Dye manual pg. 2)
Over saturating the shoe during the dyeing process is common within the bridal industry. When too much dye is applied to the shoe's surface, it takes much longer to dry and the final appearance may lack color uniformity. Using hair driers to speed up drying time also causes problems with color uniformity; the end result may be darker, or duller.
Proper dye selection is important. Once the customer has chosen her dress and shoes, showing her color swatches will help determine color preference. Be aware that certain dress colors do not have coordinating dyes. For dresses that do not have a corresponding shoe dye match, suggesting an engineered color and explain that the chosen color will not match her dress perfectly.

To test latherability, a small amount of the soap or detergent was added to a test tube and shaken. The latherability was measured by observing the amount of bubbles that formed. Dispersibility was then tested by again mixing a small amount of the soap or detergent with water. After shaken, the amount of oil globules that formed was observed. The pH of the soaps and detergents were then tested by mixing a small amount of the soap or detergent with water. A pH strip was used and compared to a pH chart to determine the pH of the samples. Cleaning ability was tested for the soaps and detergents by using a small sample of the soap or detergent to observe if it could clean small stains off the laboratory sink. A solubility test was also performed to determine what solvents dissolved the soap or detergent. Water, 1 M NaOH, 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl), toluene, and acetone were the solvents that were used to test solubility. A small piece of the soap or detergent was added to five separate test tubes and each solvent was added separately and observed if dissolution occurred.
The first types of ladies shoes are the cheap shoes. First, cheap shoes usually cost anywhere from twenty-five dollars to around sixty dollars. They are often on sale because of large quantities stocked by department stores. These shoes are often sold out during sales because their prices are marked down considerably to make room for the next shipment of cheap shoes. Secondly, cheap shoes are low quality. Cheap shoes have very bad workmanship, for example: they are easily ripped or torn, the soles often are not glued properly to the shoes, and each pair of shoes is a slightly different size. When cheaper shoes are manufactured the companies use very cheap material such as: low grade plastic, foam, imitation leather, and coarsely woven fabric. Cheap shoes are generally not very comfortable at all. Next, cheap shoes come in styles to appease to the economical customer. These customers are generally the very young and the very old, or those who cannot afford shoes that are more expensive. The most common styles for cheap shoes are the slippers and the very low-heeled shoes for old women, and the high platforms that appeal to younger women.
