Fiebing'sBlack Suede Dye (4 oz) - Recolor, Brighten & Restore Suede & Roughout Leather Shoes, Furniture, Purse - Includes Wool Dauber for Easy Application - Flexible When Dry, Won't Crack or Peel

Amazing results! I have been restoring an old saddle and during the process, the leather of the saddle darkened into a rich mahogany. The old suede seat was originally a golden camel color no longer matched the saddle. Finding this product, I ordered the mahogany shade and used that to put one coat of dye over the camel color. It turned out SO GOOD and the seat now matches the restored leather on the saddle! I highly recommend this product. Easy to apply with the wand that comes with the bottle of dye. It just could not be simpler and the suede still feels soft after application.

Fiebing's Black Suede Dye (4 oz) was purchased during august of 2023 for the price of $9.98 plus tax. the product is now available for the price of $9.89 plus tax (December 16, 2024).The shoes upon which the dye was used were new. However, the coloring seemed to be a bit faded...not as saturated as I would have liked them to be. Although I have never gone through the process of dyeing shoes previously, I really wanted to enjoy these shoes...so I took a chance after watching a few YOUTUBE videos.The process of using the Fiebing's Dye was as straight forward as one would hope, and expect. The only suggestion is to be prepared before beginning as to avoid making a mess of the application, or accidental spillage.The most important aspect of obtaining the best results is to follow the instructions. After having done just that, the results were superlative. The color saturation that I desired was immediatrely appparent upon completion.The most important thing about the process is to make sure you have a suitable suede brush in order to release the nap of the suede after the dye had completely dried. If, for some reason, the saturation of color is not to one's satisfaction, it wouldn't be outside the realm of suggestions to apply another coat of dye.I'm thoroughly satisfied with the results of using this product. Howver, I can only attest to the results of having used the Black dye. I have no idea if similar results would be obtained with the different color dyes that are being offered by Fiebing's. Nonetheless, Fiebing's has an excellent reputation of offering quality products. It would be worth the effort to take a chance on the spectrum of colors offered.

I ordered 2 pairs of Ecco shoes for my husband and unfortunately, they were much lighter than expected. The first pair, he wore a couple of times but the second pair were brand new. I had meant to send the second pair back, but time slipped away and soon it was too late - sigh.Ecco's are pretty nice and not inexpensive so I hated for them to just sit on the shelf - which is exactly what would happen! And I can't blame my husband because I didn't really like the light color either.These are not smooth leather. I guess they would be considered suede (?) or nubuck maybe? Anyway, I thought that trying to dye them would result in a splotchy mess! Reading online, articles indicated the need to strip the existing finish....and that's where I lost interest!Finally decided to just go for it! What did I have to lose? They weren't going to be used as they were anyway. Checked a couple of products on Amazon and settled on this one. So glad I did!The pictures show the results!FIRST PICTURE: The shoes that had been worn a few times. I didn't have a brush, but I used the edge of a knife to "scrap" the shoe to try to remove any dirt and raise the nap. Seemed like a good idea! I don't have a "before" picture of the new, unworn shoes but they were the same color/style/brand.SECOND PICTURE: This is the after of the new shoes after I dyed them! Looks pretty awesome, huh? I love the color. I used dark brown dye, but they seem to have a bit of a red tone which I really like - kind of like cordovan. They look even better in person!THIRD PICTURE: This is the pair that had been worn (I remember to get before/after pics!). Again, super pleased with the results! They also look even better in person than the picture.

I had high hopes for this dye. As you can see it works great! These shoes were grey and very worn out but now they look brand new! Unfortunately I noticed after, 2 days left to dry, I went to wipe the white parts and noticed that the black was coming off into my hands. I then rubbed some parts with a dry paper towel and the color was coming off. I don’t think all the color will come off ever but it isn’t completely permanent after it dries.

This product works wonderfully! I made sure to watch several instructional videos about proper application techniques before using it, and it was perfect for reviving my black Uggs. The results were exactly what I hoped for. Just a heads up - there are definitely some specific techniques that make a big difference in getting good results, so I'd recommend doing some research on application methods before you start. The effort is worth it though!

Ruined a brand new pair of tan Birkenstock clogs the day I bought them, by accidentally using waterproofing spray that I didn’t realize was black! Managed to get an even dark grey color on them but absolutely hated it. Just did one coat of the black dye and they look brand new! Unfortunately, the bottle only gave me one coat on each shoe so I have to buy another bottle to do the second coast still, but the quality is top notch. Just hoping they don’t bleed in the rain after proper clear waterproofing? Also, reading the reviews, some people don’t realize that you first have to prep the surface with proper suede brushes and then do it again in between coats and after to keep the texture and get like-new results!

Easy to use, its more like black water, so be sure to wear clothes you don't mind staining.Color is very nice black however the feel of my shoes (Birkenstocks in this case) were pretty much ruined :(its no longer silky suede like i had them. I mean its not too terrible but if you're looking for them to feel the same maybe look elsewhere? keep in mind this is using the dye only and air drying.3.5 Stars.
