Angelus Leather Dye, Permanent Leather Dye for Shoes, Boots, Bags, Crafts, Furniture, & More - 3 fl oz, Jet Black

I used this to dye the white stripes on black Vans, so they don’t look so obnoxious. It’s definitely permanent. I used it on the brown collar area of a pair of Josef Seibels, because it looked odd on black shoes. It worked great. I also tried to use it on a larger area on some Flag LTD shoes. The area was too large, so it didn’t look right. On an area that large, it looked like an ink pen busted open on them.

Very good product! One bottle wqs enough to dye a big purse and i did a second coat. The color was very beautiful!

Worked as described!! A+++

I purchased the brown color to darken the lighter color on a two-tone purse. Note, the BROWN color has red undertones. I wish I had purchased a different/darker coffee brown with neutral undertones. The color descriptions are wanting. It was easy to use and the coverage was very good without having to go back and do multiple layers.

The color is great and works well. The applicator holds a lot of dye. I squeezed part out prior to dyeing a belt, and barely needed any more to cover it completely. Good penetration too. I've used Angelus leather dye before and the product does not disappoint.

This leather dye is a phenomenal product.I'm rehabbing an old leather chesterfield ottoman that I purchased for cheap on offer up, trying to save me quite a few hundreds of dollars.Angelus was the first product I saw with decent reviews.After agonizing over so many choices and trying to squint and look for swatches on the site, I went ahead and I purchased the "Russet" dye.It was only later that I figured out that within the leather making community or "industry" that the names for these particular dyes are a near universal standard leather colorway which isn't unique to Angelus.So for example; you can do a generic Google image search for the leather tone "Cordovan" and get a general idea what the dye will turn out to look like.*IF* You're starting from a light vegetable tan natural leather which hasn't been dyed yet.I keep seeing negative reviews for this product because it appears that customers aren't doing their basic research and applying common sense before ordering and dying their project.For example: if Im starting with a pair of dark black boots, I can't simply purchase a turquoise or a green dye and then expect my boots to turn out just like the swatch.It will likely just end up being a dark color with a blue looking glaze to it.You'd be better off going for their leather paints instead, and always starting with a WHITE base coat.Or if you're committed to dying then you could try to deglaze and strip the existing dye off the boots first.My recommendation would be to contact their customer service DIRECTLY with a picture of your project.I will update my project piece with pictures soon.Because I was working with a darker toned ottoman and because I went in blind purchasing the Russet color, It ended up being a really nice base tone orangy glaze which combined nicely with the leather filler that I had purchased as well.UNFORTUNATELY I didn't follow directions and use a deglazer first, so I'm preferring to just start over again from scratch.Every mistake on my end was my bad, NOT the products. I was so impressed with the dye, I purchased a 12 piece kit from their site to save money.Very impressed with their leather paint as well.I'm very excited to get my hands on more. It seems to glide on wood as well, and it doesn't sit on top of the leather or wood like a normal acrylic paint does. 5 stars!!

Excellent produce and record delivery by Amazon

This dye works! Does it work on leather shoes? I don't know! It definitely works on skin (which is leather I guess), tiles, stainless steel, kitchen sinks, walls, wood, dog bowls, and rolls and rolls and rolls of paper towels.I have a pair of navy blue pumas - my favorite shoes - that I've had for years. They've gotten pretty faded so I thought "hey! let me try to re-dye these! what could go wrong?"An exploding bottle could go wrong. An exploding bottle all over your kitchen.I was excited to get this product, and I opened the amazon package to see a nice little box. The box even has a little cut out area for you to put the bottle when you're using it to prevent spills. How thoughtful, I thought. Well I turn over the box to see what's written on the other side and the bottle leaps out of the box straight to the floor.Now, did I black out for a second? No, everything is blue. Navy blue. I didn't black out, everything is just now covered in dye. I see the bottle on the floor, the few drops of dye slowly dripping on the floor, and with haste I picked it up like that might help. No, no, no, that doesn't make a difference. So I grab paper towels and start wiping like a mad man, but it only gets worse! I made myself a human sized dying dauber and the blue just spreads and smears, no matter how many paper towels I use.I'll try bleach - that will at least stop the blue from spreading, but somehow it just changes the blue to a dark gray. I'm so confused, I just wipe the blue/gray around as my blue tears slowly roll down my blue face and my newly-blue clothes.Here's a short list of products that will not fade this dye:Alcohol, rubbing (although drinking alcohol will hopefully fade this from my brain)Stainless steel cleanerStove cleanerWindexGrease RemoverPaper TowelsSpongesOne product kind of changes it's color:Bleach3-stars because clearly it works.I've never found the cap to the bottle. Maybe Angelus uses magic to keep the bottle closed during shipment. That's can't be right, then they could use magic to clean it up for me. The cap is definitely hiding from me on purpose. It's slowly dying something in the house, and is ready to haunt me in my dreams. If I ever see small navy blue circles in the house, I'll know it's still here.
