Re: Changing shoe color Use meths (NOT WHITE SPIRIT) to clean them, its good for removing old polish (because it doesn't take to well to waxes) & shouldn't bring any harm to the leather. however if any of the shoe is plastic, try the meths in a small inconspicuous place first to make sure it doesn't react with the surface coating.
Don't use detergents or water on them, as this can cause the leather to dry out, go hard & shorten their life span.
Simple wipe over with meths & dye, don't over complicate the process! use a small artists brush for the edges & the brush supplied for the main areas.
Pack the shoes with paper, to help lift out the creases in the uppers & once dyed & polished spray with a protector to help keep them in tip top condition.
