TRG Easy Dye – 131 Lemon – 25ml

Description

TRG Easy Dye – 131 Lemon – 25ml – a fresh, zesty lemon yellow.

TRG Easy Dye 131 Lemon is a fresh, zesty yellow – bright, cheerful and full of summer. It’s a lovely way to give white or pale trainers, pumps and bags a sunny lift, or to refresh a yellow pair that’s looking tired.

TRG Easy Dye is a personal favourite of mine here at Shoespecialist. It’s a proper pigmented shoe dye that recolours and revives smooth leather, canvas and synthetic (man-made) uppers, so it’s brilliant for tired trainers, pumps, boots, bags and belts. I’ve lost count of the number of pairs I’ve saved from the bin with a bottle of this, and once you’ve done it once you’ll wonder why you ever put up with scuffed, faded shoes.

One honest note, because I’d rather you get a great result: dye can only ever deepen or refresh a colour – it never lightens. So this shade is at its best on pale, light or already-yellow leather, canvas and synthetic uppers.

Why choose Lemon shoe dye?

• A fresh, zesty lemon yellow. Lemon gives you a bright, sunny yellow that recolours evenly and covers scuffs, scrapes and faded patches in the process.
• Covers scuffs and edge wear. As well as changing or refreshing colour, it hides the worn strips along toes and heels where the finish has rubbed away, so your shoes look cared-for again.
• Flexible finish that won’t crack. It dries to a supple film that bends and flexes with the leather, so it stays put through everyday wear rather than flaking off.
• No separate finisher needed. The colour and the finish are in one bottle – no extra sealer, no fuss. Most pairs are done in about 30 minutes plus drying time.
• Works on more than shoes. The same bottle happily tackles matching bags, belts, purses and small leather goods, so you can pull a whole look together.
• Handy 25ml bottle. Enough to recolour a pair of shoes or refresh a bag, with a sponge applicator built into the lid for neat, even coverage.

How to use Lemon shoe dye

1. Clean first. Wipe the shoes down and remove any old polish or wax so the dye can grip. Let them dry fully.
2. Protect the edges. Mask off soles and any parts you don’t want coloured with a little tape.
3. Apply thin coats. Using the built-in sponge, work the dye on in thin, even strokes. Thin coats always beat one thick one.
4. Let each coat dry. Allow it to dry, then add a second (and, if needed, a third) coat until the colour is rich and even.
5. Leave to cure. Let the shoes rest and dry fully before wearing. That’s it – no separate finisher required.

Frequently asked questions

What shade of yellow is Lemon?

Lemon is a bright, zesty yellow with a fresh, citrus feel – sunny and cheerful rather than muted or gold. It looks wonderful on white canvas and pale leather, and adds a real pop to summer shoes and bags.

Will Lemon work on darker shoes?

Lemon is a bright, light-toned shade, so it comes up best over white, cream or already-pale uppers. Because dye only ever deepens colour and never lightens it, a bright colour like this won’t read true over dark leather – keep it for lighter shoes and canvas for the boldest, cleanest result.

Can I use it on suede or nubuck?

No – TRG Easy Dye is made for smooth leather, canvas and synthetic uppers, not suede or nubuck. Those brushed materials need a dedicated suede colour instead. If you’re not sure what your shoes are made of, drop me a message and I’ll happily help you choose the right product.
