What type of paint do you use on canvas or vans shoes?

Leather paint is the best paint to use on leather shoes if the shoes are made of canvas or fabric, acrylic paint, fabric paint or fabric paint pens are better options. Acrylic paint can also be mixed with a textile or fabric medium to ensure that the painted surface stays flexible and to prevent uneven application of the paint on the rough texture of the shoe.

▶ Canvas shoes: You can use any colour you like. Black backgrounds make the images stand out nicely when you leave portions unpainted.
▶ Acrylic primer: All purpose wall painting primer works great You can also use Gesso.
▶ Acrylic paints: Golden (brand) is top notch quality goes on beautifully. You can also use any acrylic paints sold at craft shops such as Decoart, Martha Steward, Folk Art, artists acrylics, or acrylic wall paint.
