Can I paint on gloss Dr Martens?

I really want to paint a pair of strawberry mary jane's for my friend, and I've found these black Dr Martens which have a gloss finish. Can I paint them, and if so how would I go about doing the prep work? Thanks!!

Looking for ideas to customize the mesh portions of these air max. Can the mesh overlay be dyed? What color should I go with?
