TRG Leather Shoe Dye is a professional-grade solution designed for leather enthusiasts and professionals who need to restore or customize smooth leather footwear, bags, and accessories. This penetrating dye offers rich, uniform color coverage that stands up to daily wear, making it an ideal choice for reviving faded items. However, users should note that the formula is specifically designed to transition from lighter to darker colors and is strictly incompatible with porous materials like suede or nubuck.

No, this dye is strictly formulated for smooth leather and synthetic leather. It will ruin the texture and finish of suede and nubuck.
No, this product is designed for moving from lighter to darker shades. It cannot lighten dark leather.
While the dye provides a durable finish, applying a high-quality leather conditioner or finish can provide extra protection and luster.
While it may feel dry to the touch within a few hours, it is best to allow 24 hours of drying time before subjecting the leather to friction or heavy use.
While intended for shoes and accessories, it can work on smooth leather furniture, but you should always test a small, hidden area first.
Yes, TRG Leather Shoe Dye is formulated for permanent color restoration, meaning it penetrates the material rather than just coating it.
Ensure you are using light, overlapping strokes. If streaks persist, a second thin coat applied after the first has completely dried will usually balance the color.
This often occurs due to residual factory finishes or wax on the leather. Use a leather preparer or deglazer to remove the top coat before re-applying.
The leather may not have fully cured or an excess of dye was applied. Wipe the surface gently with a clean cloth and allow more time for the solvent to evaporate.
To achieve professional results, begin by cleaning your leather item with a specialized leather cleaner to remove wax, dirt, and oils that might prevent the dye from penetrating. Ensure the item is completely dry before beginning the application.
Always test the dye on an inconspicuous area, such as the inner tongue or the bottom of a heel, to ensure color accuracy and compatibility. Because this product is a permanent dye, it is critical to protect surrounding surfaces like tabletops or carpets with newspaper. After application, allow the leather to cure fully in a well-ventilated area for at least 24 hours before use. Regular maintenance using a standard leather conditioner after the dye has cured can help keep the material supple.
