Sorry this is probably hella annoying but I dont get what you said lol.
I guess what I was tryin to say was; Can i continue to wear the shoes and just ignore the cracks or do i have to worry about wearing them too much and havingthe soles crumble to the point where the shoe is no longer wearable?

I have never used Seaglow, but the product works. Google it and a site comes up, where you can purchase it. Or you could try the supermarket.

im guessing there is lint on them?
lint roller.
yes, same answer i gave him.
i never bought any packages yet.
but try to keep them out of heat and sunlight.
if you really are scared to have them yellow and further, put them in a ziplock bag.
depends if you feel the need to restore them.
what else color would you paint them?
Angelus Leather Paint.
Depends on how good a job you did. People don't know how you restored the shoe, so they will have a doubt in their mind that it'll end up as a %%#%#*restore job. people rather buy them before it was restored.
you can paint it, but if your going to wear it, the paint will end up cracking anyways.
im not sure if its wearable beacause i can't see it first hand but it all depends on how bad the cracking is on the midsole.
RIT or bar keepers friend (can be bought in at a local grocery store at the laundry section)
steps should be on the package.
isnt olympic VIs toebox blue?
no clue what you are talking about.
if its stored normally (in a box, without heat or light hitting it) you should be good.
nope. none of those have clear synthetic rubber.
unashy? as in, clearing the lint on your nubuck/suede?
lint roller.
same answer, haha.
people used bar keepers friend or RIT. both can be bought at a local grocery store in the laundry section.
ziplock is the safest way.
you can do it without the seaglow.
its alright, dont trip.
but you can keep wearing them even though its cracked. all it is, is cracked paint. unless your shoe has been through hell. other than that. you should be fine
