I went to a shoe repair place and bought a solution that is made specifically for preparing leather before you dye it. This was very easy; you just wipe it on and wait for it to dry but make sure you follow the directions for the brand you buy. It is very strong smelling stuff and you have to use it in a well ventilated area. After this step I applied black shoe dye on top of the beige shoe, waited for it to dry, shined them up a bit and voila, ready to wear.

If you don't want to take the chance, you can always take it into a dance shop. I spray paint them and then let them dry a day or two.
