SHOEBOY'S Pure Colour Restoring Lotion, White (Weiß), 75 Millilitre

I bought this to recover my daughter’s very expensive Dr Martins. Having watched a few you tube videos I realised that full restoration of this damage would need filling and sanding and as this is ‘milled leather’ that maybe very noticeable and beyond my skill set. They did however recommend using a product such as this and building up layers. I have included pictures of before and after. First a good clean with leather cleaner, not washing up liquid or anything that will degrease and take the natural oils from the leather. I used autogylm car leather seat cleaner as I had that in the garage. Once the shoes dried I applied this product sparingly putting a very light coats on. Be careful this is very fluid and could flood over the shoe, but after 4 coats allowing 30 mins in between to dry I am very happy with the results. From a far they look like new. I could keep going with a few more layers but I figured I’d see how this lasts. Overall very pleased and was the perfect product for this amateur restoration.

I tried this on my white sneakers and it worked really well, covering scuffs and faded spots to give them a fresher look. The lotion applies easily on both fabric and leather surfaces. Once dry, it didn’t crack and didn’t affect the texture of the shoes. The 75 ml tube is a good size and lasts for multiple uses.

This is a great product but I would suggest applying a thin layer at a time and do one side of the shoe at a time to limit any mess or transfer. You will want to ensure you wipe smooth any excess of the product or drips. As you can see from the photo, my daughters old trainers were absolutely knackered but still had plenty of wear. The restoring lotion has done a brilliant job of smartening them up (original shoe on the left, restored on the right!). The product is basically a thin paint-like liquid which dries to a matt finish. It took a while for me to realise you need to push down on the foam applicator to get more of the product out. You can then end up with quite a bit of product, which is a bit foamy at the start, right on your shoe. I found that using an old plastic plate to press down on to get more product out allowed me to apply the product onto the shoe without ending up with too much going on in one spot. You do need to take some time to do a good job. You will want to smooth the product out to avoid drips or areas with excess product so you get a nice smooth colour finish. I found having a baby wipe to hand enabled me to wipe any excess off the trim if needed. Doing this immediately gave a better result than wiping it once dry but you're a bit stuffed if you get it on any non-white fabric parts, so apply carefully. I used a little bit of natural shoe wax to give a slight sheen when finished. It made the shoes look a bit more like they'd done originally rather than having a matt finish.

Good quality worth the money

Not easy to use and colour very dull you can tell it's not white and painted on not great

I used this product on two pairs of leather shoes and a pair of canvas trainers it was easy to use good coverage brought shoes up like new. It dried very quickly still got plenty left a good product for the price would recommend it

Cleaned my white trainers ok.

Used this on two pairs of trainers (did two applications each) - first pair had gone all brown after washing and drying, and this whitened all of that up. Second pair had turned a bit yellow over time, hadn't even really noticed, but thought I'd use this on them too since had bought it for the first pair anyway. Now they're gleaming! Will be digging my other white (ish, now) trainers out to use the rest of this up. Great results for very little money! Didn't take long to dry and was easy to apply.

Aucun effet apaisant

Ho praticamente riportato a nuovo le scarpe di mia figlia! Prodotto ottimo e coprente al massimo

I used this on my white vans. It definitely works! I did end up getting my van dirty again. And i do not know how it will go when i try washing just yet. However, it did it’s job of whitening my vans. Super easy to use.

Ein tolles Produkt, weiße Sneaker sehen danach aus wie neu. Für mich unverzichtbar!

I used this polish on white and black golf shoes. It is easy to use, not messy, does not smell strong and dries quickly. However, some scuffs showed through polish even after multiple applications.
