When you should have bought this:
I'm not sure if it'll work or not, I've never tried that kind. I think your best bet would be to return it and get the right kind

Man I give up, my concords still look the same after applying Rit like 8X, I've pretty much followed same process as mentioned in my previous post.

LMBO. I was JUST about to reply the same thing. It's amazing what people will do for fashion. Anyway, all the stretching in the world won't get that leather to a 9.5. Like @FrankW said-sell those you have and get your actual size.

So it seems like we've pretty much solved the "secret sauce" issue and it seems like 40 vol creme is the same as all the big names selling it although raleigh restorations MIGHT be a step ahead.
BUT it doesn't seem to be a consensus on the best cleaner. I've always used lincoln ez cleaner b/c the price is the best, but is there a better one?
Air Legends has one.
Angelus has one.
Jason Markk has one.
Which is the best? Or is lincoln EZ cleaner still the best?

I thought this was pretty obvious because at the end of the day, they pretty much all have to have similar chemicals. Just one might be more potent than the other, and the thing is that you're only allowed to sell up to a certain % of hydrogen peroxide,etc. in a product before it's illegal, so I mean, essentially if all the products are at that highest % of hydrogen peroxide,etc. possible, they're all selling the same thing or something extremely similar. I don't see a point in spending a lot more $$ on a cleaner name branded product when the generic one (salon care) that everyone uses does the same exact thing unless one of those companies/brands discovered a new way to clear soles, it's rinse and repeat from old methods.
For cleaners, I use Refreshed, but all that stuff is practically the same (Lincoln EZ cleaner might be better for suede/nubuck though). I would be confident in that if you took one of those products and used their cleaner on one shoe, then used laundry detergent/dish soap + warm water + brush on the other shoe, they would both be just as clean or about there.

Exactly, last time I was at local Nike outlet this kid wearing a sandle was trying to pick up sz12's when I stood next to him and looked down his feet was smaller than mine and looks like he should wear a sz10 or 9.

I prefer Jason Markk but its darn expensive...plus it's great on suede/nubuck.

I wasnt talking about the paint, I was talking about whether I should use Black Suede Dye or Jet Black Leather Dye, seeing as how most reviews for the Suede dye say that it turned their shoe purple.

Another quick question, for restoring black faded midsole paint (like on the Black Grapes) should Back or Flat Black paint be used? Also, would any type of finisher be needed?
- 3,233

depends on how shiny the midsole originally was. I'm guessing regular black. Just add a little duller if you don't like the sheen once it dries and just repaint. Obviously do a small section first. I've got to restore a pair of my metallic Vs myself.

check the back for the ingredients, if the first or second or close to the top ingredient is hydrogen peroxide then you should be ok. remember the higher to the top the higher the concentration of the ingredient, this works for foods as well.

Has anyone ever repainted an entire shoe? Is that process any different than the midsole other than the added step of using leather preparer/deglazer
?
