A better dye for suede doesn't just exist.

Really good dye. Can't speak to the longevity of it, but I don't see why it wouldn't last. Used a whole bottle to dye a pair of whooped gray Birks solid black. 2.5/3 coats worked well and seems to have minimal dye transfer. Very easy to apply.

I’ve had these Adidas court shoes since 2018, but I haven’t worn them for a while because they faded quite a bit. Cleaned them and used this dye (just the regular black color), and they look practically brand new again after just one coat! Super easy to use, and the color is spot on. Very impressed with the results, and this helps me keep my shoes in rotation and out of the landfill. Best $12 I’ve spent in a while. While others have mentioned issues with color or application, I have a feeling it’s because they are trying to achieve a color that won’t work (i.e. bright blue over brown, which based on basic color theory will look green), or they did not prep the shoes appropriately (they need to be cleaned first and the waxy coating, if present, needs to be removed). If you take these things into account, you should have no problem achieving the desired results.

It's a great way to revive old shoes or create a totally new look as long as you understand how and what to use it on. There was some trial and error, but I have created some one of a kind shoes!

I bought this to refresh my black suede boots. The application was easy. The only issue I noticed, was a little bit of black color transferred to my hands after the item was completely dried. I’m not sure if this is normal but I still like how my boots looked after I refreshed them.

This stuff is magic in a bottle. The black dye went on smooth, the color came out rich and even, and it actually stayed that way—no streaky “my shoes are crying” look a week later. My beat-up suede kicks basically got a second life for the cost of a fast-food combo meal. Great coverage, great quality, quick drying, and my wallet didn’t even flinch! If your suede is looking tired, this is the caffeine shot it deserves.
