As an aside, this sound ignorant, but do you guys have any technique for coloring logos? I've always worn the patent leather shoes that are all black so I've never had to change anything. Do you just use a sharpie? Or will any black marker suffice?

Edit: I just purchased the shoes that JRut posted in this thread.

I actually had the exact same question. And also, are the soles black? If not, what do you use do make them black? Or do you just leave the soles as they are? Thanks in advance.

Try black nail polish. one application is all you'll need. you'll thank me later.

find it any walgreens, rite-aid or other chain store that sells make-up

Did you black out the "N" logo or any of the gray around the bottom? I know it's easy to black stuff out if it's leather but if it's plastic or rubber it might be a little tougher.

Just the little grey rubber part on the front sole and a little rubber patch on the outer sole. I didn't touch anything that was plastic or fabric.

Here's mine. They really look good when polished. I had to have the logo surgically removed.
