I purchased this fabric paint to restore a pair of Jordan high tops that I had purchased inexpensively. The shoe had severe staining (not sure what or how) on the white tongue of the shoe. The rest of the shoe looked great and like new so I thought I would give it a go. After failed attempts to clean the shoe with various solutions including bleach, I turned to this. It worked great.
Per the reviews many have had success using this on various materials so I thought I would give it a try. The tongue of the shoe was a synthetic polyester material -- not cotton, canvas or leather. This went on great with a small, firm and flat paint brush. After one coat the stain was mostly covered. The paint dries fairly quickly. I applied three coats letting them dry in between. Then overnight to set. the next day I used a heat gun gently on the tongue to set -- not too close or hot though. Tongue of the shoe is a bit firmer, but still very pliable and still feels and looks like fabric.
Since I had the paint out, I tried it on a pair of white leather AF1's that had a scuff near where the shoe meets the ankle. The scuff was showing gray underneath. This worked on that too. However, I believe with leather shoes, you may need to do some pre steps -- such as taking off the "clear coat" of the leather then reapplying a cleat coat. See online videos on this process. I was just trying it on the scuff as an after thought so I did not do those steps.
Would recommend. It is a bit pricey, I bought the bigger size, however, you may be fine with the smaller size as a little goes a long way with this paint. I'm more worried about the paint drying out on me than I am with using it up.
