Review: It removed the original dye staining from my cowboy boots - I used it to remove original dye staining from my cowboy boots in preparation for re-dying. It worked like a charm.
Review: The people at Angelus are good and responded well to my questions - This is a great product for changing the color of leather boots. I picked up a pair of Vietnam era black paratrooper boots at a flea market in June, they are just the size for my grandson. He is a WWII enthusiast at 11 following me , do you believe it? The boots were black and now brown, because as we all know the USArmy was the brow boot/ shoe army. Good product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on the rubber soles of my Mizuno running shoes? How will I know that the rubber is ready for the leather dye?**
A: I really can't say. I would try it on some rubber sole shoes you don't care about. I research it a bit too.  On leather once  you clean off the area you want to paint it is ready to go I think. It drys really fast. Rubber is probably the same if it works on rubber.

**Q: This goes on before and after or only before ?**
A: Before

**Q: Can this product be shipped to California?**
A: Might not. We have tough environmental import laws in Canada and I had to have it shipped to NY.

**Q: Does it remove paint from shoes?**
A: It removes paint but you must be careful when correcting paint

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by M***K on September 7, 2025*

Angelus is the best hands down. If you need to take off a leather finish this is for you. It is the first step to painting an already finished leather item. You will not be disappointed by any of their products!
