Description
TRG Easy Dye 151 Natural – Leather, Canvas and Synthetic Shoe Dye 25ml – a soft, undyed-leather tan for a natural refresh
Natural is a soft, warm light tan that mimics the look of undyed, vegetable-tanned leather – the pale, honeyed colour of new tan shoes before they weather. TRG Easy Dye 151 Natural lets you bring that gentle, understated tone back to smooth leather, synthetic leather and canvas, tidying up light shoes that have gone patchy or dull.
People often ask whether Natural is a clear, colourless finish, and it is not – it is a genuine soft-tan pigment that adds a subtle, even colour. It is water-based and solvent-free, comes with the double-sided sponge, and covers marks and fade beautifully, so your light tan shoes and bags look clean and cared for once more.
Why choose TRG Easy Dye 151 Natural?
- A soft, natural light-tan tone – the honeyed look of undyed leather, ideal for reviving pale tan shoes, bags and canvas.
- Water-based and solvent-free – a kinder, low-odour formula that is safer to use at home, with none of the harsh fumes you get from old-fashioned spirit dyes.
- Dyes leather, synthetic leather and canvas – one little pot handles smooth leather shoes, faux-leather bags and canvas trainers, so it is brilliant for mixed-material footwear.
- Handy double-sided sponge included – one side gently keys the surface so the dye grips, the other lays the colour down evenly, so you get a neat finish with no extra brushes to buy.
- Covers scuffs and worn patches – the high pigment load hides scrapes, tide-marks and faded areas, bringing tired shoes back to life instead of sending them to the bin.
- Flexible finish that moves with the leather – once dry it will not crack, peel or rub off in normal wear, so your refreshed shoes keep looking smart for months.
How to use TRG Easy Dye Natural
- Wipe the shoes clean and remove any dirt, polish or grease with a little rubbing alcohol or a leather de-greaser, then let them dry.
- Take the rougher side of the included sponge and gently key the surface, so the dye has something to grip.
- Mask off soles, stitching and any parts you want to keep clear, and stuff the shoes with paper to hold their shape.
- Using the smooth side of the sponge, apply the dye in thin, even coats, working in one direction for a streak-free look.
- Let each coat dry for around an hour, then build up two or three thin layers until you reach the depth of colour you want.
- Leave the final coat to cure for a few hours, then buff gently with a soft cloth. I like to finish with a matching TRG shoe cream to feed the leather and lock in the shine.

Frequently asked questions
Is Natural a colourless dye?
No – Natural is a genuine soft light-tan colour, not a clear finish. It adds a gentle, even tan tone, so it is perfect for reviving pale, undyed-look leather and canvas, rather than simply sealing the surface without changing the shade.
Can I use Natural over a dark brown shoe?
I am afraid not – dye can match or deepen a shade but never lighten it. Natural is best kept for light tan, cream and pale leather or canvas; over a dark shoe the soft tan simply would not show through.
Do I need a separate lacquer or topcoat?
No, and that is one of the things I love about it. TRG Easy Dye sets to a hard-wearing, flexible finish on its own, so there is no fiddly finisher to buy. If you want a little extra water resistance I would simply add a matching TRG shoe cream or a spray protector once the dye has fully cured.
