i think this depend of what kind of leather dye have the shoes... i have a few shoes of a shoe brand called Ace Marks, and noticed the patina was taking off little by little after a year of use, may be was the renovatour xD... but i removed the original leather dye with Reno mat and removed the dye soooo easy... now i painted them by my self with saphir dye and i love the result, like a new shoeYes and no. During the early stage of my shoe journey I was stupid enough to take the advice from some websites and do a renomat stripping every few months. It was smelly, unnecessary and caused damage to my patina shoes by unpredictably decolorising them wherever I rub hard It does not remove 100% of the wax in one round either. So it’s a very strange product: inefficiently removes wax, and often attacks dye.
Turpentine, as suggested by Antonio himself, is much more gentle on colour if you want to strip wax. It’s also inexpensive and extremely effective.
To redye, you need one more product: Decapant.
I think Antonio makes some really fantastic shoes but unfortunately I have a rather low instep which their shoes don't quite fit well (actually not just AM, this applies to a number of shoemakers, strange feet I have). I guess my only option is to try their MTM? Is their Aurum line equivalent to MTM? Will reach out to AM to discuss but it will be helpful if someone who have experience with it can shred some light on the process, and also want to have a sense how much more will it cost compare to a Argentum MTO. Thanks.
