because you want them
mental notes one might consider beforehand:
1)use an old/unwanted paintbrush, the bleach ate mine...
2)make sure you do this outside incase of accidental bleach spillage (no one wants that now do we?)
3)do not touch your face/eye area whilst doing this for bleach does not feel nice
4)wear old clothes

Step 1
put the bleach in a container then start painting your shoes with the bleach. do whatever pattern you wish. i did stripes :3
Step 2
let the bleach sit on the shoes for a few minutes until it has lightened. but don't leave it on to long...
Step 3
take some wet paper towel or an old rag and wipe the areas that have bleach. this is to remove any extra bleach and stop it's effects.
Step 4
place your shoes in the sun to dry or if you are impatient, i suppose you could use a hairdryer.
Step 5
while waiting for my shoes to dry i made shoelaces by cutting strips of an old tshirt and then put colored duct-tape on the ends
Step 6
now put your new shoelaces in and show off your new, one of a kind shoes! huzzah
Step 7
stupid bleach ate mah paintbrush! D:
