Are your heeled ankle boots looking dull? Are your pumps suffering from scuffed and dirty soles?
It’s a shame to retire them when a simple DIY refresh can bring them back to life. With this expert trick, you can even mimic that iconic Louboutin red sole look on your Minellis or favorites.
Here’s how to professionally color your soles for a trendy upgrade. It’s straightforward and effective—watch:
1. Grab one bottle of white nail polish and one in your preferred color—or the shade that best matches your shoes.
2. Apply a base coat of white polish to the sole.
3. Let it dry completely.
4. Follow with a coat of your chosen color for full coverage.
Your soles are now freshly colored and look brand new! As shoe enthusiasts, we know you’ve got nail polish handy—but it also works great with plain gouache paint.
For pro-level application, pour the polish into a cup and use a wider brush. This technique shines on pumps from Eram, Zara, or San Marina, as well as boots with pointed or square heels.
Go classic red for Louboutin vibes, or experiment with yellow, white, blue—whatever suits your style.
