I dyed some ankle-length, man-made leather gray boots with this product last night and they are now a lovely bordeaux color and very close to the morello cherry shade on the bottle. The boots were fairly dark and had some wear and scuffing and so they came out with a very cool variegated finish giving them a distressed leather look. The dye even colored the zipper and an elastic accent, so overall I was very pleased. The package includes a cleaning product to pretreat your footwear with and cleaning and dyeing instructions for various types of leather and cloth. I got good coverage, but unfortunately spilled the bottle, so I will have to re-order if I want to do touchups. My only complaint, which is minimal, is that the little application sponge begin to come apart by the end of the second coat, so a back-up sponge would have been nice. That said, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to breath life into your old footwear or give yourself a "new" pair of shoes or boots for less than $10.
