    Oh, we can update the ad!

    Now change your shoe carpet color… as easily as your nail shoe color!

    Surely painting your shoes like this didn’t work well.

        I like how that bottle is so easy to tip over and is right by her knee just waiting for an involuntary movement as she shifts from one uncomfortable position to the next

      I think they were trying to emulate someone painting their nails - see the advert claiming it’s as easy to paint shoes as it is to paint your nails? Oftentimes it’s a downright contortion trick to paint one’s toenails hahaha

      The smaller image on the bottom gives me that impression even more.

    That one is interesting. Could be a nice way to reuse shoes with wear marks. I wonder why it didn’t become a common thing. Was it impractical or had toxic stuff? has anyone around here ever seen it when it was for sale?

      I’d wager like with any paint, even with a perfect application, it would scuff and peel easily. Thus becoming unattractive while ruining your previously more attractive shoes?

    It’s still a thing. I websearched for ‘recolor shoes’ and there’s lots of products

      Do try it but on a protected surface, while wearing gloves. Halloween is the perfect time. I made some black pumps red for a costume once, it worked very well.

      I’d bet materials science is 10 leaps ahead of what it was then. :)

        might depend on what you mean by ahead. teflon and asbestos, and lead, etc. all made better products for the lifetimes of the products users. there was a little balancing problem with them though
