If this heps a little, 1-Shot sticks very well to leather, especially when airbrushed as my leather vest I done in the eighties is still in great condition.

Would not most any good oil based enamel work, if 1-Shot will? I wouldn't count on it for the man-made heels, though. You may have to mask off the shoes and do the heels with Fusion; then do the tops. Is this permanent or temporary?

Why Paint??? Get some white duct tape...yes, it does come in colours, and use that to colour the boots. Afterward, it's removable.

White to black would be a walk in the park but black to white might be more of a trick. You might want to try a Mar-Hyde brand spray or brush-on. It's made for auto interiors and vinyl tops. You can find it at most auto part stores. Pep Boys has it for sure.
Went and got some Krylon - regular and fusion. Cleaned the whole thing with straight rubbing alcohol.
Figured, what the heck and sprayed fusion on all of it.
The leather uppers actually took it pretty well, as well as the soles... but the layered heels didn't. I really thought the fusion would be best on those, but guess not. The paint repelled away, but not over the whole heel. Didn't quite figure that out.
Went back in and sprayed the heels with regular. That seemed to cover up what needed it. Then did a light layer over everything with matte clear. Don't know if it will make any difference, but couldn't hurt.
I have NO idea how they will wear, but at least they are white!
Now I gotta find a few more finishing touches... and will be ready for Saturday night!!
Thanks again guys!
