Thoughts that come to mind would be to check for color fastness, (likely after a shoe is dyed unfortunately; since a shoe really doesn't have a hidden spot you can test in advance). Check to see that the dry dye won't rub off on skin or clothing. Check that dye won't rub off if you accidently get them wet or damp in an unexpected rain. I suspect this would be great on a canvas purse as well. What about trying this with a tape resist for multiple colors or a pattern?

She hasn't worn them yet, so we don't know how they fare when they're out and about yet. You might have to wash it afterwards, but you might not.. I'm not sure.. sorry!
