Angelus Walk on Red Paint Restorer – for Red Bottoms, Color Renewal for Christian Louboutin High Heels and Leather Shoes – Durable, Flexible, and Easy Application – 2 fl oz

Exact match to repair my shoes. It was easy to work with and dried very quickly. I did 3 coats and they look perfect.

Great product . Just need a brush

The color is PERFECT!! It's perfect to replace the pain on your red bottoms if you wear it off. So easy to paint in and the dries very fast. No smell to this paint and since it dries so fast it's not sticky. It's very thin and you can LIGHTLY dip your brush in and you can cover your whole shoe!

This is easy to use and a good amount of thickness. The finish is smooth. I bought it to repair the bottoms of my Christian Louboutin‘s. It does not match the more modern color as well as I prefer, but it is close enough. I got the gloss finished to go over it and it helps. I also got the 3M vinyl to cover the souls as well. I don’t expect a tremendous amount of durability, but it does adhere well. It is a liquid so be careful so it does not spill.

I bought a pair of used Louboutins knowing I would have to do some repair myself. I have included images of the shoes as I received them - not a ton of wear, but clearly dirty/had been worn out. The photos are annotated to show the process in case you are facing a similar situation. The paint isn't an EXACT match for a variety of reasons, but it is pretty dang close and not at all noticeable if you don't have your nose to the shoe. Since I bought these used and already worn, I was mostly looking for "good enough" and I think this product way exceeded that expectation. I did opt to buy the gloss finish from the same company and I think it was worth the extra - see image with one glossed and one not glossed. With or without the gloss, the quality for the price is easily worth it. As one other reviewer mentioned, you will have MUCH better results if you sand down some of the rougher wear spots. If I were to do this again, I would start with a 150 grit and remove most/all of the original paint on the worn part and then work up to a 350 to get a smooth finish. At a minimum you should scuff up any surface you plan to paint so that the paint has something to stick to (think about painting your nails - the paint sticks better to a buffed surface). There seem to be conflicting experiences about how quick the paint dries, but for me it was within minutes, so I was able to do 3-4 coats of paint and the gloss finish all in one sitting. The actual application of the paint was easy, just pay attention at the edges. My plan for these is to cover them with a 3M vinyl film to protect the soles from further wear. As others have mentioned, this is just a fresh layer of paint - just like the original that scuffs off. If you plan to wear them outside/on rough surfaces, you should add another layer of protection and/or plan to repaint multiple times throughout the life of the shoe. Tips: - Clean the soles - remove any dirt or sticker residue - SAND THE SOLE - seriously, this will improve the dry time, the adherence, and the finished look - Use a fine paint brush like those used for crafts (I attached an image of mine) - especially if you're painting heels with a pointy tip, the smaller brush makes it easier to get full coverage without painting the shoe part - Buy the gloss finish (from the same company) - Consider using painters tape to protect the parts of the shoe you are not painting (especially if the shoes are suede - the wet paint will wipe pretty easily off patent leather if you catch it right away) Happy painting!

As a Louboutin collector, I do take a lot of my heels and boots to a professional cobbler annually for touchups. Most of my shoe collection has the rubber treads installed on the bottom, but they still require touch ups on the actual stiletto or inside the arch from where I rest my foot on chair bars. I've found that the red color has varied over the years and seasons with Louboutin (all of my shoes are authentic and purchased from Loub boutiques), some shoes have more of an orange tone and others a darker. I'm not sure if this is due to wear/aging, or if this is a manufacturing issue. With that said, this color will not match EVERY shoe, but I've found it's been a solid match for most. For touch ups in between major repairs and resoles, it's a great item to keep on hand. Dries fairly quickly and easy to work with. I personally recommend: Prior to painting, running a fine sandpaper down the sole to get an even layer, wiping with water or alcohol to remove residue, and allowing to dry. The fumes can be strong if you're sensitive so paint in a place with good air circulation or outside. This paint is very thin, so paint in small strokes. With a red, you will want to do multiple coats, allowing each time to dry in between.

Go to your nearest hardware store and ask for paint brushes used for STAIN, and PAINTERS TAPE. This paint is acrylic, but is runny, so a brush meant for stain is best. Line the base of your shoes with the tape (you will need to tear your tape a lot to get the shape of your shoes perfectly) this keeps it from getting on the shoe itself while painting. DO NOT be generous with this paint! Be patient, and scrape the side of your brush against the inside of the container to get excess paint off your brush to keep from uneccesary running. The bottom of the boots I used this product on had almost a felt like material, so it dried within an hour. For the more sleek bottoms, like heels, you will need to let dry for much longer. Lightly test it with a finger tip every hour to make sure it's completely dry before adding another coat or two if needed (remember to clean your brush with WARM water until water runs CLEAR, and let dry before use). I used three coats, and plan to seal it with plasti-dip for extra protection. I hope these directions are more informative than the ones previously given. This is a process that CAN TAKE MANY DAYS to complete, so don't get this product and expect your shoes to be ready the same day you applicate! If you are in a hurry, maybe put them facing a fan blowing air on a gentle cycle so it doesn't blow your shoes over and ruin your flooring or whatever you have them propped up against. This can be washed off with soap an water if mistakes are made on hard surfaces, NOT on fabrics or carpet. I am not an expert, but I do a lot of cosplay crafts. This product worked well for me, and I hope it works well for future buyers!

If you’re only working on the walked on portion of your shoes this is a great product, it is thick so it covers quickly and the color is a very very close match. If you’re trying to paint the inside of a pair of heels, watch out. It doesn’t level out very well on the sloped surface causing it to clump if you use too thick a coat. I ended up having to remove my first attempt (the picture) with Angelus shoe Deglazer and then sand away the weird spots where the paint wouldn’t let go. This has a heavy learning curve and I do not recommend if you are trying to make a faux pair of very expensive heals.

Super bonne couleur pour louboutin

This is fabulous paint. I painted it on the worn parts of my Louboutins and then rubbed with a tissue for it to blend in. I gave the shoes two coats and then put the finisher on which gave them a good shine. Matched the colour perfectly.

Ich habe die Sohlenfarbe bestellt und meine Sohlen zur Vorbereitung leicht mit einem sehr feinen Schleifpapier angeschliffen. Dann habe ich die Schleifüberreste feucht entfernt, die Sohle noch entfettet und dann einfach die Farbe in drei dünnen Schichten auf die Sohle aufgetragen. Das Ergebnis lässt sich sehen! Eine hervorragende Sohlenfarbe mit sehr treffendem Louboutin Rotton. (Ich habe keinen zusätzlichen Finisher benutzt, da ja prinzipiell immer wieder überlackiert werden kann. Dass sich die Farbe mit der Zeit an Stellen wieder abreiben wird, ist selbstverständlich.)
