I love red shoes but they are almost impossible to find (at least in styles that are not hideous : Kickers make red shoes but they just don't fit me properly)
red shoe dye worked for me on a pair of DM's just fine. converse make red basketball shoes, both cut-down and hi-top. I have off-pink berkenstocks. suede is very easy to dye if its pale. so desert boots with nice brothel-creeper type soles should be doable. but I think the papal shoes look quite nice for broad toes!
