Fiebing's Black Suede Dye (4 oz) - Recolor, Brighten & Restore Suede & Roughout Leather Shoes, Furniture, Purse - Includes Wool Dauber for Easy Application - Flexible When Dry, Won't Crack or Peel

Fiebing's Black Suede Dye (4 oz) was purchased during august of 2023 for the price of $9.98 plus tax. the product is now available for the price of $9.89 plus tax (December 16, 2024). The shoes upon which the dye was used were new. However, the coloring seemed to be a bit faded...not as saturated as I would have liked them to be. Although I have never gone through the process of dyeing shoes previously, I really wanted to enjoy these shoes...so I took a chance after watching a few YOUTUBE videos. The process of using the Fiebing's Dye was as straight forward as one would hope, and expect. The only suggestion is to be prepared before beginning as to avoid making a mess of the application, or accidental spillage. The most important aspect of obtaining the best results is to follow the instructions. After having done just that, the results were superlative. The color saturation that I desired was immediatrely appparent upon completion. The most important thing about the process is to make sure you have a suitable suede brush in order to release the nap of the suede after the dye had completely dried. If, for some reason, the saturation of color is not to one's satisfaction, it wouldn't be outside the realm of suggestions to apply another coat of dye. I'm thoroughly satisfied with the results of using this product. Howver, I can only attest to the results of having used the Black dye. I have no idea if similar results would be obtained with the different color dyes that are being offered by Fiebing's. Nonetheless, Fiebing's has an excellent reputation of offering quality products. It would be worth the effort to take a chance on the spectrum of colors offered.

I ordered 2 pairs of Ecco shoes for my husband and unfortunately, they were much lighter than expected. The first pair, he wore a couple of times but the second pair were brand new. I had meant to send the second pair back, but time slipped away and soon it was too late - sigh. Ecco's are pretty nice and not inexpensive so I hated for them to just sit on the shelf - which is exactly what would happen! And I can't blame my husband because I didn't really like the light color either. These are not smooth leather. I guess they would be considered suede (?) or nubuck maybe? Anyway, I thought that trying to dye them would result in a splotchy mess! Reading online, articles indicated the need to strip the existing finish....and that's where I lost interest! Finally decided to just go for it! What did I have to lose? They weren't going to be used as they were anyway. Checked a couple of products on Amazon and settled on this one. So glad I did! The pictures show the results! FIRST PICTURE: The shoes that had been worn a few times. I didn't have a brush, but I used the edge of a knife to "scrap" the shoe to try to remove any dirt and raise the nap. Seemed like a good idea! I don't have a "before" picture of the new, unworn shoes but they were the same color/style/brand. SECOND PICTURE: This is the after of the new shoes after I dyed them! Looks pretty awesome, huh? I love the color. I used dark brown dye, but they seem to have a bit of a red tone which I really like - kind of like cordovan. They look even better in person! THIRD PICTURE: This is the pair that had been worn (I remember to get before/after pics!). Again, super pleased with the results! They also look even better in person than the picture.

Easy to use! I got bored of an old pair of booties because the color was just a bit too pale for me and I was looking for a darker brown, which was more on trend. Rather than buying a new pair of booties, I decided to try this suede dye. The applicator is like a big cotton ball on a stick but works really well to change the color, except where the suede meets the sole of the shoe. A finer make up brush or something would’ve probably worked better. All in all I’m very satisfied with the color and the fact that I don’t have to buy a new pair of shoes.

I had high hopes for this dye. As you can see it works great! These shoes were grey and very worn out but now they look brand new! Unfortunately I noticed after, 2 days left to dry, I went to wipe the white parts and noticed that the black was coming off into my hands. I then rubbed some parts with a dry paper towel and the color was coming off. I don’t think all the color will come off ever but it isn’t completely permanent after it dries.

Make sure you wear rubber gloves.

Not the best. Didn't want to seal completely without a heavy layer. Then that was too much. Had to rinse the suede with water to get the excess off. Wouldn't buy again. But it works.

I’m honestly blown away by this product. I had a pair of boots I’d owned for years but barely wore because the color just never felt right—even though they were insanely comfortable. I wasn’t ready to toss them, so when I stumbled on this dye by accident, I figured I had nothing to lose. I’m so glad I tried it. The color transformed beautifully into a rich, dark brown, and the whole process was unbelievably easy. I finished the entire pair in under 15 minutes. No streaks, no weird odors, no hassle—just a clean, even finish that made my old boots look brand new. If you’ve got suede pieces you love but want to change the color, this dye is a game-changer. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat.

This product does exactly what it says. I dyed my black suede boots (they had faded to a charcoal gray) black again. The product was easy to apply with the applicator, dried quickly, my boots look like new, and there is enough product left to dye at least 10 more pairs of boots. Not sure how it would work if you want to dye suede that is not already black with this black dye though.

Easy to apply with the included dauber. Restores color beautifully without cracking or peeling. Highly recommend for suede shoes and accessories.

Good quality suede dye was used to dye brown boots black well absorbed into the suede I did use a couple of coats to get the boot darker but overall good quality very messy to use would advise using gloves and putting newspaper down so you don’t get any splatters

Its good but it depends on the type of suede. I tried on one shoes was nice and perfectly black, but on other more luxurious shoes it turned dark blue than black. It will also change the texture of the leather so the suede wont stay as soft as it was. I would recommend it only for normal shoes but not expensive shoes

This dye was recommended to me after a poor experience with another brand. Absolutely fantastic coverage and no horrible smell.

Färbt super!
