I was thinking of trying something similar on my Vass Norewegers. I think you can turn the sole edge natural by rubbing it with acetone, then reconditioning it with neutral cream or conditioner. I wouldn't mess with the welt though unless you were re-soling.

i prefer a fine sandpaper... ...at a cobbler they use the "grounding machine".

wouldn't touch the the welt either. that's why they ask you about the colour of the thread on the bespoke route.
