Well I can't compare to the beautiful works in this thread, so many great transformations! Hope you're all right with me posting a before/after! Feedback would be most kind. Tried to add depth to the shoe without going too far. Deglazed, dyed, sealed.

What's your process to seal the dye?

Very nice again Fab75...would love to see the before shots for both those pairs. Curious what dyes you have used. I personally have only used Fiebings dye. I have tried fiebing and angelus deglazer and found no real difference. Love to hear more of your experience.

What brand are those two also...at first thought it was an AE fifth ave but now I notice wrong number of eyelets and bottom two are spaced out wider. Not sure what they once were...beautiful now though for sure. Please share more info. Love this stuff
