Boot Black Sole Edge Colour Dye

At Arterton, we believe that fine shoemaking deserves equally fine finishing touches. The Boot Black Sole Edge Colour is a professional-grade liquid dye developed in Japan, designed to recolour and refine the edges of leather-soled shoes, restoring sharpness and visual depth to worn welts, heels, and sole edges.

This water-based formula applies cleanly and adheres beautifully, even on previously finished or faded areas. It offers excellent pigment coverage while maintaining a natural look. Packaged in a practical glass bottle with an integrated sponge applicator, it allows for precise and controlled application—whether you’re touching up light scuffs or re-dyeing the entire edge.

Why We Recommend It at Arterton

• Revitalises sole edges and welts with rich, uniform colour

• Sponge applicator ensures precision with minimal mess

• Fast-drying, water-based formula suitable for leather edges only

• Ideal for customers looking to refresh the original factory finish of their Goodyear-welted or Blake-stitched footwear

• Made in Japan with the same exacting standards as Boot Black's cream and polish ranges

How to Use

1. Clean the edge of the sole thoroughly to remove dust and old residue.

2. Shake the bottle well before use.

3. Apply using the sponge tip in long, even strokes—avoid oversaturating.

4. Let dry fully.

5. Optionally, follow with a layer of Boot Black Edge Crayon for a wax-sealed, high-gloss finish.
