Midsole Marker

Amazing! Went on smoothly, dried quickly, holding up great. I bought a pair of Nike shoes from Goodwill. I do this often to use as work shoes since I don’t like to pay full price for work sneakers when I will then just step in a patient’s bodily fluids in them. While washing these five dollar second hand shoes, imagine my surprise when as I scrubbed, my hands turned black because the previous owner had colored the sides of the white soles with a black marker. I had no idea until they were submerged in water. I tried unsuccessfully to fill in the missing black smeared parts with sharpie until googling to find this product. I thought this was going to be a DIY disaster, but this marker went on smoothly to color in the sides of the soles. They look exactly like they did when I bought them. It looks like the soles were black to begin with. I got so excited that I went through all of my other running shoes to see if any of them needed a black trim touchup. The stuff goes on like a dream and is pretty fool proof. Even for me.

I used this to black out the white foam midsoles on some black Asics that I were dirty but still had some kid in them. The red clay from the baseball fields stained the midsoles and wouldn’t come out. Solution was to blackout the foam. This worked like a charm. Shoes look good as new. Application is pretty much what you’d expect. Imagine a paint marker but thinner consistency. Wasn’t very messy and dried in a reasonable amount of time without stickiness or anything like that. I did have to do a couple coats because I’m blacking out white and optics yellow foam and plastic.

Works really well as an umpire my equipment (mask, shoes, etc) has to be all black for NCAA softball. So I have to black out emblems. Ink flow was great not messy, not too much or too little. Simple and easy to use covered all the emblems without overflow. Dryed fairly quickly was nice also. I'd say within 45 minutes totally dry.

There were some stains that I was unable to remove. I was very skeptical but decided to give it try. It turned out to be surprisingly easy to use. I did the first coat, waited 2 hours, then a second coat. The next day, I did the third and final coat. You can see the before and after pictures. I'm so happy. My sneakers look brand-new and so cool! I like them even more now. The color looks fresh and new. Excellent product at a great price. I recommend it! EDIT (22 March 2025): I wash my sneakers in the washing machine (cold water) and the black ink survived by 95%, yay! I'm so impressed! I just had to redo a few small spots here and there, that's it. I'm so happy!!

Worked perfect! I had a black hair dye stain on my white leather shoe. I applied Wilkins Premium Midsole Marker as directed and stain is gone. Good as new.

I ordered a pair of Volatile sneakers on Ebay. Why their description is impossible to see, and not a part of the actual description section, is beyond me. But I digress. I ended up ordering a pair of brown (gag) shoes. Everything i own is black. I think i have maaaaaybe one brown shirt, maybe. So I searched Amazon for something to help me change my new shoes and quick! I came across this marker to change the sole color. I liked how it was a paint type marker, but because Volatile shoes have a foam sole, I struggled. I couldn't just slide the marker back and forth as intended, I had to hold the tip down, let the paint come out, and swipe it across with my finger. Pretty tedious. Once I got to the rubber part, it went by MUCH quicker and easier. I ordered for overnight I believe. Either way, it arrived on Halloween. I needed then for the following day, Saturday. Application was simple enough, I also had to do the suede which was an ordeal. My only problem is when I stepped off my porch the next day. I almost busted my s***. My rubbery tread was no more. This made my tread feel like hard plastic. I was legit slipping on CONCRETE. Zero grip, zero traction. It was the equivalent of wearing high heels on frozen ground. I tried to rub the bottoms on the rocky part of my driveway, trying to get a little traction back. They sounded like clunky high heels. For anyone who isn't familiar with Volatile shoes, they're sole is foam with a rubber tread at the bottom. They're VERY lightweight platform sneakers. I have multiple pairs, and have never had a problem. Its not this specific pair, when I tried them off the day before Halloween, I had no problem. I did like the color, the ease of application, and that it arrived right when I needed it. But I'm not happy with it turning my shoes into ice skates. If you dont need to do the bottom tread, you're golden! But they will stiffen up and feel different, so keep that in mind

I have tried 2 other "shoe markers". One looked like I used sharpie, the other scraped off with the slightest touch. Both came off easily with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. This product only took 2 coats. Probably could have gotten away with one but I'm a nut. Here is what I see so far: Application- coated very thick and more like a stain or dye than paint. Dried fairly quickly but waited 24 hrs before touching it. The look. Very impressive. From a distance you can't tell it isn't actually black rubber. In most light the sheen is an exact match. At some angles it is a bit more glossy. Other- Have not yet worn them to test durability, but my initial finger nail scratch test passed with flying colors. The first 2 products I tried marked up instantly. This seems to be much more durable.

Doesn’t work. Pressed the pen on my shoes and nothing was coming out. I tried shaking it and thats when the part seperated. Ink/paint splashed all over my pants and floor. WASTE!

il est super, la peinture ne s'étale pas, elle reste fixe et garde sa couleur au fil du temps, très bon achat

スニーカーが見違える程、綺麗になって、大満足でした。

Flakes off easily.
