Dying new leather shoes

[Dunluce]

So I picked up a bargain pair of quality leather shoes at TK Maxx but I am not in love with the colour and want to dye them black. I know I have to deglaze them first, but will my Feibings dye be good for dying them or is there some sort of specialist dye I should be using?

As long as you really cut through the top glaze Feibling should be ok. On jobs such as this I use cellulose thinners to really remove the top glaze, especially in any nooks and crannies. And give it a really good sealing afterwards

Frdk,

I am thinking cellulose thinners to remove the glaze, then dye, then mink oil to rejuvenate the leather and finally shoe cream and wax polish. How does that sound?
