Teal shoes?

[StarCoveter]

I am thinking about maybe getting some teal shoes to wear for the wedding/reception... but I can't find any that would work. The "must"s for these shoes:
-size 7.5-8
-Flats: MAX of 1", preferably no inch!
-No animal product - no leather, suede, etc.

Can you find anything out there??? Thanks! :)

Hmmm.... well I was trying Zappos.com, but ran into some roadblocks.... first I tried Women's Dress Shoes, then narrowed by size, heel height, and then intended to filter by color -- but teal isn't an option.

So then I tried "Vegetarian/Eco Friendly," but then there's nothing in women's dress shoes (only canvas or casual).

I would say find a nice pair of dyeables that meet your other requirements (heel height, non-animal) and then have them dyed to your exact shade of teal... I think that'll be the easiest way.

Oh wait! I found a Cruelty free shoe/bag site....

That's all they had in teal, turquoise or aqua... but here's all of their ladies' dress shoes:

Thanks, those are cute, but I think the heel might be too tall for me.

There are a lot of veggie shoe stores out there... I've even bought shoes from the one site you found (they are awesome!:)).

One of the main problems I've found is finding the RIGHT shade of teal.

Who dyes shoes? Where would I take it?

Most any shoe repair shop (check your yellow pages) will, as will David's Bridal. If you've got one of those nearby, you might check there first (as I've heard their dyeables shoes are comfy, and reasonably priced).
