If shoes get wet or from sweat, is anyone having the dye run or leach into socks, etc? Is the dye stable?

I did not use this on shoes, I used it only dressage saddle. Then used the restolene to seal it. After rubbing and sweating and the occasional rain, my white breeches do not have black on them.

Fiebings dye is designed for use with all vegetable tanned leathers except for suedes or splits, once the dye has settled and dried it will not come off, though it dose need a light finish, preferably acrylic, to avoid fading with wear.

I did have the problem of Leather Dye wiping off and rubbing off onto my clothes from a handbag I dyed. I used Resolene as a top coat and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I only use acrylic dyes for shoes and handbags.

Unfortunately, I had the same results. I talked with a physician and learned that the only effective socks (of course, very expensive) had more of a silver lining. I also consider the spray to be expensive and not very long lasting.

I haven't had any issues with my sneakers sticking. My only issue so far is that it gets quite slippery for floor work if my hands are even a little sweaty (ie, push-ups, down dog, etc)

I've not had any problem with staining, have learned to order a size larger than I would normally wear as these tend to run small.

Hi, Judy..."Permanent" is a long time so I can't answer that...but so far, 2 mo.s or so, my shoes are doing well. My guess is that it wouldn't be characteristic of leather to shrink once stretched....and the cost of most shoes far outweighs the cost of the potion. Not much to lose since the stuff left no stains or scars. ms

There a lot of factors at play here. A lot of that does depend on where you are in the world and your relative humidity. Under normal conditions they dry in a few hours. I highly recommend these, even if your feet sweat a lot they stay pretty dry and help avoid blisters.

I have had success with leather boots that had a single "shot" of cat urine. I can't comment on "soaked" shoes. If the only other choice is to throw the shoes away, I would try Rocco & Roxie and maintain the shoes shape with scrunched up newspaper.

I had problems on my first marathon a few years back and then I bought a pair of the standard green ones a couple year ago. I've since used them for training and have had NO issues with feet getting numb, sore or even arches getting 'worn out'. I recently used the green ones on my marathon last year and I can't complain... they worked AWESOME, no tired feet! I use them over the socks and readjusted the ties on my shoes. I will be purchasing the blue ones soon and hopefully they work just as well. By the way, I've had the green ones for a couple years now and it is still in great shape, use them weekly.

Yes, I am sure that would work, Just let it dry completely. I sometimes just spray on the outside of the shoe, too.

I never noticed it coming off on clothes, or colouring anything when I sweat. It doesn't give that intense a colour to actually give off any when you sweat, from what I have understood of the product, and from my experience of using it. It gives a gradual colour over 3 days, so in all honesty, I think it's quite safe to sweat in (except for maybe, right after you apply it) :-) Hope this helped!

I add a little Oxi Clean to my wash in addition to my detergent. They don't come out white white but not as dirty looking as they are with out. And just because they look dirty, they aren't. Its just like white sock . The bottoms never stay white as they are when their new but u know their clean because uve washed them.

I used it on a synthetic fabric shoe and it worked well. It didn't stain either.

Hi, I didn't apply leather finish after dying my shoes. I watched a YouTube video and a lady dyed some rather worn shoes with a gorgeous orangish/rust dye. They turned out fabulously, and she dyed SUEDE shoes! That is what I did, only black and newish shoes. She said hers were suede, and it worked great. The package says not to dye suede, but I did anyway. I am not sorry! The color is fabulous and I just brushed them with a soft brush after they were dry. I am not doing anything else to them - mostly because they look good and they are suede. I would suggest reading the package. I don't remember afterwards applications. Sorry!

I get that right at the ball of my foot, but probably after about 10 washes. I also run in my socks, so I'm sure that adds extra stress to them.

I've used mine twice and have not had any issue with it "slinging fertilizer all over my shoes". It appears to be an excellent unit, based on my limited use.
