Dying my Allen Edmonds

[Guest John]

I recently washed my Allen Edmond (Park Aves) and only when they dried did I notice that It stripped away some dye. (I used saddle soap)

I've never dyed any leather in my life and I was wondering if I was missing any steps in the process. 

Also, do you condition the leather before or after the dying process ?

Are they shoes? I would try a little Meltonian shoe cream or Black Rock Leather N Rich before trying to dye them, and if you do dye them, you will most likely need to use Fiebings stripper to make sure the dye penetrates evenly. most dyed leather is coated with a sealer that needs to be removed first.
