KapsDye With Primer For Natural And Synthetic Leather Shoes, Kaps Super Color And Preparer, 117 - Navy Blue, 25ml - 0.85 fl. Oz.

This product was good but some of the dye rubbed off quickly after wear.I left the boots for 5 days before wear.I think this product requires a stronger buffer for the leather before dying.

Good product , however I needed two lots because my shoes are very porous , however end result good.

I had a pair of mid olive ankle boots that I had bought in T K Max that were lovely but, on reflection, I had spotted the sale price rather than the wearability. Knowing they would better in blue, the only option was to dye them. Read the reviews and decided to take a chance on this brand. I chose navy blue rather than midnight blue.quick delivery but was concerned about the size of the bottles. However, the prep bottle was ample, and recommend that it is used, and the bottle itself was more than ample. I used the brush as instructed and painted the stitching between sole and boot and then painted the sponge to apply the rest. The colour concerned me at first but it darkened and looked great. I applied three coats (all in succession as dried quickly) and then left final coat 36+ hours before wearing. I was concerned about the zip colour being olive still but went for the ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’ approach and rubbed the sponge over all of the metal zip too - perfect. I wore ithen whilst traipsing around a city tour and walked miles - and in the rain - and not a problem at all. Lovely shiny polished finished. I would definitely recommend. Update: the dye has come off where the boots have been scuffed. I would perhaps recommend a slight buff to the item to be dyed before starting the process to give a better key for the dye to stick to. I'm sure it will be easily repaired.

Needed to colour the fine cracks in the leather. Did an excellent job

Bought this to dye pale pink leather trainers dark blue. Found it fiddly and quite difficult to use. Brush not good ended up using a make up brush. Need several coats to cover the original colour.

Polish didn't bring colour back. This did. A bit pricey and don't need much to do the job. Would buy again if needed

Clear instructions, easy to use and great finish. Water based, so easy to clean applicators. Leather remains supple after application. One small pot of super colour was more than enough for a pair of Chelsea boots.

Sponge & brush provided not sufficient to apply dye properly & not enough for 2nd coat
