Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Leather Preparer
- Shoe Refinishing Spray
- Cream Shoe Polish
- Masking Tape
- Light-colored Cloth
- Soft, clean cloth
Step1
Purchase a refinishing spray such as Nulife at a shoe repair shop. Take the shoes with you so that you can match them to the color chart.
Step2
Use masking tape to mask off the sole and heel of the shoes. Only the leather upper should be exposed.
Step3
Find a well-ventilated area to work in. Using a light-colored cloth, wash the leather with leather preparer. Let dry. Repeat until the leather has a dull, even finish.
Step4
Apply the refinishing spray to the shoe. Spray it on evenly and lightly. Repeat until the leather has an even color, allowing it to dry between coats.
Step5
Remove the tape. Polish the shoes with cream polish and a soft, clean cloth.
