HarryHeffernan Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I’ve seen a lot of nice work with the saphir leather dyes. I’ve found if you get a cheap electric sander and do the soles before you attach them it makes life easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
