Both are just as good as each other if you get the more exspensive brands, quite often cheap markers are not very good, but as long as you keep the fabric tight it should be fine. personally I prefer fabric paint but either will do. Including fabric pastells
If you are working on a small item or want to do detail work, a good set of fabric markers are invaluable. Their down side is the smaller number of colours available. With fabric paints you can cover a larger area with less work, They come in a wide selection of colours and being able to mix colours gives you much more flexibility.
:) Personally, I wouldn't use paint to customize my shoes, since after awhile the paint will wear out and eventually change the colour of your shoes. But! If you truly want too, find some simple "Air Brush" paint. :D that is non washable, and that should work out gorgeously for you!
Decocolor paint markers will work.
No It don't work...just threw away 50 dollars... psss best fabric paint to use on boots is the spray kind....
Fabric paint can be applied with brushes. Most of the fabric paints commercially available are opaque, which means they will work over any fabric including denim. You may have to apply several coats in order to get the look you are after.
Yes they can, however a dye would probably work better since you are actually trying to color a fabric. This would also keep the fuzz from becoming stiff.

Yes. Fabric paint doesn't wash out when it is washed and doesn't bleed onto the other items. Fabric paint is easy to work with and comes in all colors as well as glitter types. I have used it many times to create art on my clothing. Go to a local fabric or craft store to find it.

I don't believe that will work, but there are fabric paints available that are intended to be put through the wash. Here is a web site listed below of nothing but fabric paint.
yes, I just tried it today and it works. It might fade after to many washes. But just dont spray to much in one area because the shirt then gets really hard and crusty. I suggest doing it on a plain white shirt.
at the high school i used bleach,may not work on every paint. be careful!
Fabric Pens are very good for patterns but are not good at all for detail. The colours smudge together resulting into no detail. Fabric pens are good for writing as they have thin led but not for colouring in. Fabric pens are normally used to create a message onto a piece of fabric… When you have finished using the fabric pens you have to iron them into the fabric so the ink can set.
You could do it, providing you use a good quality fabric medium with it, but as most bathing suits are designed to stretch, and get wet, the paint will look "tatty" pretty quickly. If this is for a one shot deal - a photo shoot, or big beach/pool party, it will most likely look good that long, but fabric paints (or acrylics mixed with fabric medium) don't work well on man-made fibers.
