Insert the shoe tree or stuff your shoes with newspaper to prepare for the recolouring process. This will allow the wrinkles and other crevices to open and make a level surface to clean. Good preparation of the item to be dyed is the key to a satisfying result. If shoe lace is present, remove it first to clean the underneath.
Use Waproo Suede and Nubuck brush to remove the dirt on the surface of the shoe. If there is stubborn dirt or stains, use Waproo Suede ad Nubuck shampoo to clean your shoes. Shake the container very well before spraying the shampoo lightly over the shoe then brush gently to clean with a suede brush.
Allow to dry before proceeding to dyeing your shoes. For optimum results, place your shoes in a well ventilated area, then, allow to dry for the next 24 hours minimum.
Commence dyeing once you notice that the shoe is free from moisture. Using the applicator brush , apply dye evenly on your suede or nubuck shoes. Give a second coat after 20 minutes of applying the first coat.
Once you are satisfied with the colour result, allow the dye on your shoes to dry completely in a properly ventilated area which could take 24 hours. Once dry use the brush to raise the nap on the leather.
