Premium Midsole Marker for Customization Paint on Leather, Suede, Fabric and Soft Foam for 2-4 Pair of Shoes (Black)

Works well, the ink flows just right. Not too much or too little. Perfect for precision cover up. Very smooth and appearance is good.

Amazing! Went on smoothly, dried quickly, holding up great. I bought a pair of Nike shoes from Goodwill. I do this often to use as work shoes since I don’t like to pay full price for work sneakers when I will then just step in a patient’s bodily fluids in them. While washing these five dollar second hand shoes, imagine my surprise when as I scrubbed, my hands turned black because the previous owner had colored the sides of the white soles with a black marker. I had no idea until they were submerged in water. I tried unsuccessfully to fill in the missing black smeared parts with sharpie until googling to find this product. I thought this was going to be a DIY disaster, but this marker went on smoothly to color in the sides of the soles. They look exactly like they did when I bought them. It looks like the soles were black to begin with. I got so excited that I went through all of my other running shoes to see if any of them needed a black trim touchup. The stuff goes on like a dream and is pretty fool proof. Even for me.

I collect used shoes throughout the year to fix up like new and donate to school kids of families in need and distribute them the week before school starts. I'm on my 4th year doing this and am on target to have 150 pair ready by August this year so I've used MANY of these shoe whitening pens. This one is perfectly ok and does do it's job. Considering it's 1 pen for $10, this one is not my favorite. I have slightly more trouble with leaking out of the lines (I don't use tape, I've never needed to before) than I do with the others I've used. But if you need one and need it quickly, this will absolutely work! You can see how dirty and stained the outsole was before using this pen and I was able to cover it all with only 2 coats.

Good Product

Awesome!

Ordered these markers a couple of times. I've used them on fabric, leather, plastic and rubber midsoles. On fabric leather and plastic, they seem to hold up ok. For plastic, make sure you clean the surface well and maybe add 2-3 coats and you should be good. Rubber midsoles...now here's where it gets interesting. I used the marker on a pair of Jordan Tatum 4s, and the look turned out rather nice. I wiped down the areas with alcohol and I assumed the surface was dry enough, so I applied the marker. After just 8 hours of wear (no sports, just walking around), there were crack lines showing the color underneath the black coat. The crack lines were right where the foam/rubber was compressing. I've since cleaned the cracked lines with alcohol, so I'll repeat that process and then reapply the marker and see how it holds up to use. I may have to resort to a coating of dye first and then this marker to make things more aesthetically pleasing. I also have a pair of Adidas NMDs that I may try this on as well. Regardless, I will come back and update this review as necessary. If there was a 2.5 I would have given it, but I'll be a little generous and give it a 3 for now.

I used this to black out the white foam midsoles on some black Asics that I were dirty but still had some kid in them. The red clay from the baseball fields stained the midsoles and wouldn’t come out. Solution was to blackout the foam. This worked like a charm. Shoes look good as new. Application is pretty much what you’d expect. Imagine a paint marker but thinner consistency. Wasn’t very messy and dried in a reasonable amount of time without stickiness or anything like that. I did have to do a couple coats because I’m blacking out white and optics yellow foam and plastic.

I had high hopes for this product, but I have to go against the majority star ratings of it I guess, as it didn't work the best for me at least. I used it on the sides of the shoe soles over some of the white, but it doesn't really stick to the soles real long, maybe I needed some unknown additional prep to make it work better?? It took, a few coats to make progress, and I went by the instructions for dry times between and final dry time as well... it didn't seem to matter though, as the very first time FINALLY wearing them out, I would up with various areas of it scuffed back off to show the white again, and I wasn't even being rough with the shoes (they were bran-new shoes, not yet worn outside). So I guess if anything, if a person changes their mind on the looks of what they blacked out on the soles at least, it seems to come back off pretty easily. I think adhesion of this could be much better, maybe a different product all together to achieve what I'm after, bummer :(

il est super, la peinture ne s'étale pas, elle reste fixe et garde sa couleur au fil du temps, très bon achat

スニーカーが見違える程、綺麗になって、大満足でした。

Flakes off easily.

ممتاز جدا .. غير شكل الجزمة كليا ورجعت البسها بعد ما اصفر الجزء السفلي.. رائع وانصح فيه

I’d tried washing my favorite Lacoste sneakers, I then tried anti-oxidants but nothing worked to de-taint the yellow aging midsoles. Until this wonderful white marker made it so simple to restore my middle aged loafers to their youthful prime. Just mask the upper, press the nib and a few coats later, well take a look!! The bottom is the old colour, the sides are the brand spanking new. And the pen should be good for two more pairs. Job done!
