Get some others and have them professionally dyed, or paint them with crafts
paints.

I won a pair of handmade shoes once (my husband won a tournament and that was
the prize). I knew the artist, a guy named Richard from Kansas.

I told him I wanted low gold shoes that tied. He said he couldn't really do
gold.

Here is why guys think that: They use leather dye. Leather dye is nasty,
old-timey stuff.
I said "Okay, just make them tan then. Thanks."

Every couple of years I get another 59 cent bottle of gold metallic crafts
paint from a crafts or sewing store, and I paint them again. Eventually it
cracks, but it's a shoe polish situation. It's always GREAT for the first use,
and passable for the next few.

But if the purple boots you need would need to be dyed for sure and not
painted, then take some light-color boots to a shoe shop or leather-worker and get
them to dye them.

Instead of using craft paints, spray-paint the boots/shoes!
We'd do that for plays when we needed other-color footwear and it works
beautifully. It doesn't crack like thicker paints and it's easier (to my
way of thinking, anyway) if a bit messier (cover the ground with newspapers!)

Have fun!
