It is not a flexible type paint so it would coat and provide some level of reflectiveness, but it would crack and possibly peel when used.

You might be able to do a little with leather sneakers buy i do not think it would work on cloth.

Quite possibly, most of these shoe stretch products say not to but I used it on a pair of sneakers with suede and it stretched the leather just fine. The suede was black and I didn't see any discoloration. I'd recommend you try it in a hard to see spot first though, just in case.

No, but that just sounds like a bad idea. It's like sandpaper on the bottom of your shoes. You'll end up scratching floors. They make specific products for leather soled shoes.

I have used it on all of my fabric shoes. Suede, cloth, brushed leather etc. I have done really light coats and very heavy coats. It does darken them while they are wet, but as they dry they seem to be revert back to very close to their original color.

It does not. I put it on a pair of boots and it was very ineffective. The problem is that shoes flex when you walk in them. In any spots there is flex the product will flake off and not work at all. Also if your shoes touch anything (just from common movement) it will brush off quite easily in those spots. On my boots (which were much stiffer on the outside then your tennis shoes will likely be) any spots that flexed were no longer waterproof within 2-3 days, and any spots that brushed anything took about a week to 10 days for the product to be ineffective.Also as mentioned by another user it will leave a cloudy white residue on anything it is applied to.

I wouldn't use it to apply polish and don't think it could very easily. It works great as a shiner between applications of polish that require rubbing it into the leather. Unless you ding or scrape your shoes, the buffer works well for daily use.

If you worried about dulling, I would suggest a traditional shoe shine. This offers great protection for shoes that are worn very often. I work in hospitality and am constant using this to get buts of food and who knows what else off. I wouldn't say it dulls very muc overall and it certainly is safe on light colored leather.

I used it in leather shoes. It has not affected them. If you have stinky feet use this product

I did not use this on a bike. I did spray it on a metal pole and I may have not done it right but it was not reflective for me.

In my experience, rubber cement works well on leather (over the years I have used it to make many lasting repairs). Coat both sides of the leather to be joined, let it dry, then carefully position and press the pieces together. Obviously this won't work in every situation, but it is worth a try. (FYI, when making laced leather products like wallets, the lacing is lengthened by cutting a 1/8" 45 degree slice off the top side of one piece and off the bottom side of the other (to keep the shiny top-side continuous) and then rubber-cementing them together in the manner described above.)

Yes, that's the only reason I purchased the product was to use on my Bal bags. Don't use it on suede though! Completely changed the color of suede boots I have. Has never altered the color on my Bal bags though. Don't go over board spraying! One light coat is all you need.

I only tried it on suede boots, but the can says it does plain leather as well.

Never tried it on leather. It can make surfaces sticky when sprayed though.

Yes, I have it on my slip on boots and have had them on one other style boot. It should work fine on shoes. The rubber makes them able to adapt over different styles of shoes.

Sure, it will work on all leathers. But I'd find a shoe polish that already contains conditioner as well as the color of the shoe. Just my thoughts. Some other really good products to also consider are: Bee Kind or Saphir.

I brushed it on patent leather which is has a plastic coating. As long as the plastic will not be bending (as a shoe would) it does work with a few layers
