Will paint ruin your shoes?

I have these old white shoes and i was wondering if I could paint them white because they are so dirty they don't even look white anymore just gray. If the paint WILL ruin the shoes, what can i do to whiten my shoes again. The tongue of the shoes say LEATHER UPPER, so i suppose the upper part of the shoes are made of leather.

Try white shoe polish before you paint them. The paint will probably crack the leather and ruin the shoes. Just wipe off as much of the dirt as you can with a damp cloth, then polish them once or twice.
Reply:Years ago I remember buying shoe dye for leather shoes. I don't know if it is still on the market but a shoe repair shop would be the best place to start looking. Or you might get luck goggling it.
Reply:take them to a shoe repair and they will tell you what is more convenient.
