I often think of ways that I can joke about your process Preston but then you completely nail it. If anyone ever doubts anything that you do within our sartorial community. You are proven and accepted as a master. Thank you and best regards to you and your family. Success is at your hand!
Your dye and finish videos are actually really relevant to my interests as I'm an orthopedic shoemaker and out of the three workplaces I've been employed at over the years only my current one cares about aesthetic. The horrors I have seen at my first workplace... Yes, we did take off finish and pigment with acetone but redyed with what was basically latex based sole finishing liquid, absolutely disgusting looking. Recently your burnishing tutorial helped me to put a really nice touch on one of my favorite pairs that I have ever created for a customer, so thank you for that as well!
Thanks for the tutorial, I just finished dying my very light tan suede shoes into a warm chocolate brown and they came out perfectly. The heads up on making sure we have enough dye was critical when ordering as I did need some of the second bottle to complete the job. Cheers!
what color dye did you buy to "chocolate" color? I checked saphir website and Amazon and there is only Light, Medium, and Dark Brown then mahogany and Havana. Was it Medium that comes out as chocolate-y? The video doesn't mention which specific color dye.
This is awesome. There are a few suede shoes I found that I love everything but the color and now i can just customize it by dyeing it myself. Thanks for sharing this video, and your knowledge
This is just what I needed! I found some gorgeous suede shoes at a thrift store that where in incredibly good condition and I just couldn’t pass them up, even though I’m not the biggest fan of the color (a light tan). I figured, why not just dye them myself? This video was so helpful and calming. I feel really confident now in being able to dye my shoes. ☺️
@@michaelnichols8757 It can dye the soles and welts if they're leather, so it's best to mask them off with tape like he did the interior of the upper. And it very well might dye the metal, depending on the type of dye (a lot of artists use alcohol-based inks on metal). If you're at all concerned about keeping the metal pristine, or if the metal has scratches or other signs of wear where dye could get trapped, you can always apply a bit of wax to them, or paint on some artist's masking fluid, aka frisket (a latex-based masking material that is easily and fairly cheaply found online or at art stores). It'll rub off easily with a finger or a rubber eraser once you're done. (I would NOT advise using frisket on the welt or sole, though, as it might settle into the stitches or iron marks and be a pain in the butt to remove).
I recently managed to find a pair of these in NOS condition and could love them more! I’ve always been nervous about wearing suede because I was concerned it wasn’t as durable as calf skin. Over the last couple of months, I’ve learned that isn’t necessarily the case with proper care. This isn’t at all different from calfskin, which benefits from some attention as well. Great video!
Beautiful! Again, I just luv ur work. Such a passion for ur profession. There r NOT many that I know of who carry that trait. Keep up the great work, and thank u for sharing!
Look at us. All dressed up and nowhere to go. Watching this video during a 2 hour break in lockdown and standing in a queue to get groceries. Keep uploading such fine videos to keep up our morale.
Sometimes I dress like I used to when I was going to work before the pandemic, just to feel normal. In those days I have higher productivity. My wife does the same and we dressed up just to go to the grocery’s store! I miss the days of walking along the shore and long dinner’s with friends and family. I regain courage thinking in those families that had losses for this horrible disease.
Preston, I left a pair of Loake suede shoes in my porch and the sun has bleached the mid green colour. I am going to follow your advice and recolour them. Thanks for the advice.
Thank you! This was a very helpful and encouraging video, since this was my first time dying a pair of shoes. I would add the you should ensure good ventilation and make sure to finish the process with a protective suede spray.
Sitting here... Learning about dyeing some suede Sperry Gold shoes I scored for $20... Then you mention Temecula. Literally just moved from there 3 months ago to the bay area. Seeing how big of a pain in the A it is get decent dyes in California, I would've been MORE than happy to hop in my car right meow to grab some dye.
How would you handle not newly bought suede shoes? I got an 3 year old pair I want to dye but I am unsure what I should do as preprocess? Renomat? Saddle soap? Suede cleaner? Aceton? Please help!
I used a waterproofing spray on a pair of suede shoes that I'd now like to dye a darker color. I assume the waterproofing might prevent the dye from adhering properly. Any tips?
Very cool project for my new Strand sneakers I just got. I'm loving them more every day, they are very comfortable and a nice break for wearing leather shoes every day, but the bright orangy turmeric is really starting to hurt my eyes, so I think I'm going with the dark chocolate or maybe a plum color. I'll see what I decide in the end. Wish me luck.
Great video, there’s a pair of Thursday’ boots that don’t come in the colour I want. I’ll give this a shot. Side note I think they play this music in my local floatation room lol. Brings back memories 😊
Just finished dying my shoes, but I put more dye in some areas more than others becase they were hard to get to, how to you ensure it's evenly dyed, or does it matter too much?
I dyed a pair of brogues just like these using the same product but as I was going for a very dark brown, I might have overdone the vamp or it just takes dye better, it's almost black now and a bit shiny, is there a way to turn it down a notch and remove a bit of the dye? Do you think Decapant could take just a slight layer of dye away without having to redye them?
You are the best! I have an olive pair of suede To Boot NY boots that I bought almost 20 years ago that I spilled bleach on and couldn’t find olive dye. Mixing yellow and black? Genius!! Thanks!
I'm so jealous, I took a look but they only had narrow widths left! 150 is such a steal 👍 Edit: Just finished the video, great job! It's funny, I've been looking for a pair in the honey color that these were originally, and I do have a pair of loafers in the chocolate brown that you dyed these to. 😂
HI, PRESTON!!! YAAAAAÀASS!!! Those are beautiful shoes! I do love those chocolate Strands!!! Hey, Preston and Juana...I WALKED! 😂 On my prosthetics proofs! I get MY legs on Monday, if all goes well! It's been a long year losing both legs since March 2019. Just wanted to give you an update! I'll have a Lady's version of nice shoes one day. 🎩 💋Baby Z!
I love what you've done here, but they look to me like they need a second coat of dye. I have done exactly the same with a couple of pairs of brown suede, and I found that two light coats are better than one heavier coat.
I'm looking to do this to restore a suede bike saddle. Can you share anything on if this type of paint stains at all after drying? I would like to prevent a large brown spot on my paints after riding the bike...
Very interesting vídeo; I bought a John Lobb light brown suede on e-bay; the shoes are great, but the color needs to be retouched. I always wanted to dye these shoes using a brown color. You are an expert and I wanted to know if you could do it for me. If you can’t, i understand; however I would like to know what exactly I need to buy and where. One other thing, I bought a brand new Thursday’s boots, they are the a mayor in color cuero; I was trying to clean the shoes with saddle soap, but the actual color came right off. I only did it to one of them, I pit leather conditioner, the color is better now, but it looks different than the original, I am not happy with it, I was wondering if I could send them to you, I think it will be easier to dye the boots in a darker color, such as burgundy or ox blood with a little bit of black patina in the cap-toe of the boots. I am not in a rush, you can take your time. I think you could really make a nice video with this transformation. I have the original box and could ship them to you if you have the time. I am willing to pay for your professional services. I am learning how to take care of my shoes; but sometimes is really hard to find the right stuff needed to take care of the shoes, everything is in the market, but we don’t know what to get and where to buy it. For example, I bought a beautiful Carlos Santos chukka boots in Coimbra, but I didn’t know what to use to maintain them looking good, these boots are in great shape, they look awesome, but now they are brown. Why? I didn’t know what to use and ended up using light brown and burgundy shoe cream. I would love to see shoemakers offering the right products to be used to maintain the shoes in its original form. Thanks a lot for your video, hopefully you could accept my proposal, my name is Alonso. Thanks
Great video, hope you can help. I do living history for the french and indian war period. I am going to be making a pair of leather leggings. I was able to purchase a couple of large, ie 6sqft each, splits in white. I want them to be a tan color to mimic dear hide. what is the best dye to use, oil or water and brand. do I dip them, swab them etc? Im thinking I will need to dilute whatever volume I can get. any help will be very appreciated.
I just bought a pair of the same light brown color, will also dye them chocolate brown. Do i also dye the shoe strings with the dye? There also very light color.
Awesome! Suede looks great when its dyed and those shoes look fab they'll last for yrs to come and maybe all you need do is get them se-soled. Animal hides how much they suffer so we can encase our feet with their skins still, there's something their hides have over artificial stuff they make cheap shoes with and,its just what you showed in your vid. Well done your shoes look prime.
What a fantastic transformation! You did a great job on the shoes as well as with the shooting and editing of the video. You mentioned olive green dye and that you can achieve this through mixing black and green dyes. Would you be willing to tell me a bit more about that? I have a suede pair of shoes that I’d really like to dye olive green, but I’m not sure how to achieve the right color. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
Love this! I have a pair of suede AE Schautal longwings in a light tan that I'd like to change to the exact shade of chocolate brown you used here. Does the die bleed through to the leather linings inside the shoes though? Naturally, I don't want to ruin any socks after the fact.
Hi, thanx for your amazing videos but I haven't seen any video where you have restored a suede shoe or a suede shoe which has creases or is dirty. I would be very nice to see that too, thank you
Preston, l really love your videos and the magic you do with shoes. Your videos are such a therapy to me, I enjoy them very much. Nevertheless, this is the first time I have to tell you that you messed up with the last dying suede shoe, it got darker than the first one, must be due to the different types of ink you used. I don't know, but in my opinion, it looks darker. Maybe if you wait a month or so, and then re-dye them together using the same ink in both, maybe you can get an even color in both.
Have you ever dyed a pair of suede shoes for a two-tone look (cap toe, wing tip, saddle buck)? Any tips as to how you would go about doing that? I have a pair of blue suede wingtip boots from Ecco that I would like to dye two-tone for a more bold look.
Have a pair of italian blue suede its ok I never had blue suede before but the shoes were clean and for 5 bucks at a flea was no brainer is blue an easy color to change and what would the easiest color to change too?
Great transformation. Doing something similar with a much more casual pair of suede Chukka boots from Yogi - they were a tatty-looking sand colour but now are a deep chocolate brown. One question though: how do you get the colour to 'lock in'? A week or so after the last coat was applied, the dye is still transferring to the hem of my jeans. I wouldn't mind so much if I always wore my jeans the same way but sometimes I roll once, sometimes twice and I don't want a big brown strip across the hem. Any tips?
Good video. I'm pretty sure the dauber they included is wool rather than cotton. If you want more of a neutral brown rather than a reddish brown, you could add some black or dye to the brown.

Your dye and finish videos are actually really relevant to my interests as I'm an orthopedic shoemaker and out of the three workplaces I've been employed at over the years only my current one cares about aesthetic.

I can understand why the old advertisement inspired you. What an amazing transformation. Phil
Thanks for the tutorial, I just finished dying my very light tan suede shoes into a warm chocolate brown and they came out perfectly. The heads up on making sure we have enough dye was critical when ordering as I did need some of the second bottle to complete the job.

@@roymata8894 Hello, I purchased the Saphir medium brown off amazon...worked nicely. Good luck
How many coats did you do? Which brand did you use? Great job!
Did ur shoes look nicer afterwards?

Does the dye stick to sole or metal eyelets
Did you do it?
@@michaelnichols8757 It can dye the soles and welts if they're leather, so it's best to mask them off with tape like he did the interior of the upper.

I'm really digging the tan color but I gotta give you kudos on the job you did. Came out looking like a factory finish 👏
Preston, your videos are exceptionally well done, informative, and raise consciousness of shoe care, quality and personal appearance. BRAVO to you!

I’m so inspired! Thank u! Can’t wait to dye some orange chelseas red!
Thank you. Good to know. I'll keep an eye open at the thrift stores. I want a pair to dye green.
This video inspired me to dye some loafers that I recently bought and I even made a video of it for my channel. Thanks for the great info!
Great video. Those shoes look better with the dark brown color. Thanks Preston for a great video.
I ordered the AE strands in blue after hearing you say the sale was a good deal. They're coming today. They're my first AE's.
The first AE and then taking blue? Brave decision..... however, great shoes

Thank you! This was a very helpful and encouraging video, since this was my first time dying a pair of shoes. I would add the you should ensure good ventilation and make sure to finish the process with a protective suede spray.
I found a bargain on some wonderful white suede Orleans. Seems like the perfect blank canvas for my first dye project.
Is it possible to use the dye on a suede jacket? Found a tan suede jacket I like, but would ideally like it to be a bit darker
Did you spray them with anything after dyeing???
The cotton bud in a stick where did you get that from? The little brush that came with my dye doesn't look good. Thanks for demo.
Is the process the same for changing for nubuck shoes as well
Learned something new today. Great video, sir! Be safe out there!
The suede shoes.. ooh it's a long love story ❤️😍
Lol
What type of paint brush are you using after you used the wool dauber??
They were beautiful color to begin with too
I have Strands in blue suede. Love 'dem shoes
The dark brown looks so nice! Great job Preston!!

you did great, suede is very tricky!!
Didn't know saphir did this was going with angelus but going to get saphir dark green instead for some air max 1s
Excellent work as always my friend. I'm totally gonna dye some suede this weekend!
Preston that chocolate brown is Everything as they say..Can you truly say which shoes are your favorites?
Preston, question about suede. Can it be recolored in the other way? I mean, from a dark to a lighter color?
I want to dye a pair now!
You should do a suede and nubuck maintenance video!
Just finished dying my shoes, but I put more dye in some areas more than others becase they were hard to get to, how to you ensure it's evenly dyed, or does it matter too much?

Did you use any leather preparator?
Good job 🎉
Any idea on how to repair metallic paint on metallic leather shoes?
Whats your opinion of Angelus paint?
Will dyeing nubuck produce similar results?
Great job... really nice.
Hi. Is it ok to dye a suede footbed of sandals?

I need that olive green dye. What brand selling it?
Hi, nice videos. I would love to dye a couple suede shoes. Is there a preferred type/brand that you use and can recommend? Thanks
Preston, Will they become darker with a second coat??
I'm sure it's pretty late to answer and I'm not Preston. But I'm certain that a second will absolutely darken it. More saturation I bet.
No, it won’t darken it! It’s a dye
I learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks!

I just bought a pair of the same light brown color, will also dye them chocolate brown. Do i also dye the shoe strings with the dye? There also very light color.
Can I use a spray bottle to achieve a uniform look or should I go with a sponge brush/paintbrush?
No protective coating needed?
How long does the dye last before needs refreshing or touching up
Do you think this technique could work on Thursday Boot suede?
Is there a way to dye them a lighter color, like tan?
Awesome! Suede looks great when its dyed and those shoes look fab they'll last for yrs to come and maybe all you
need do is get them se-soled. Animal hides how much they suffer so we can encase our feet with their skins still,

How to you restore the nap after drying? I dyed mine black and it got got hard and the hairs doesnt move

How long after dying can you wear? Do they bleed through to your socks?

Good video. I'm pretty sure the dauber they included is wool rather than cotton. If you want more of a neutral brown rather than a reddish brown, you could add some black or dye to the brown.
