This is supposed to be a shoe dye, not a temporary shoe color.  I purchased it to dye a pair of new leather shoes.  I followed the directions, but the dye keeps wearing off on the toes and inside heel area.  I finally took the shoes to a very reputable shoe repair place last week, and the owner told me that  trying to re-dye shoes these days is a waste of money, time and effort.  That the shoe manufacturers are now treating shoes with a sealant that does not allow them to be re-dyed successfully.  They will not even try to re-dye shoes anymore themselves, because the same results will happen: the color wears off.  Mine wore off the very first time I wore them.
