TRG Easy Dye 174 Deep Brown – Leather, Canvas and Synthetic Shoe Dye 25ml

Description

TRG Easy Dye 174 Deep Brown – Leather, Canvas and Synthetic Shoe Dye 25ml – a rich, dark chocolate brown for smooth leather and canvas

Deep Brown is a rich, dark chocolate brown with real depth – the sort of smart, substantial colour that looks superb on formal shoes, boots and structured bags. TRG Easy Dye 174 Deep Brown lets you bring that deep, even tone to smooth leather, synthetic leather and canvas, whether you are reviving a scuffed pair or taking a lighter shoe to a darker, dressier finish.

Because it is a genuinely dark shade, Deep Brown is one of the most useful dyes in the range – it covers beautifully and can even take a tan or mid-brown shoe down to a deeper tone. It is water-based and solvent-free, comes with the double-sided sponge, and the strong pigment hides scuffs and fade in a couple of thin coats.

Why choose TRG Easy Dye 174 Deep Brown?

• A rich, dark chocolate brown – a smart, deep tone that covers superbly and can even take lighter browns down to a dressier finish.
• 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 Deep Brown

1. 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.
2. Take the rougher side of the included sponge and gently key the surface, so the dye has something to grip.
3. Mask off soles, stitching and any parts you want to keep clear, and stuff the shoes with paper to hold their shape.
4. Using the smooth side of the sponge, apply the dye in thin, even coats, working in one direction for a streak-free look.
5. 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.
6. 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

What does Deep Brown look like?
Deep Brown is a rich, dark chocolate brown with plenty of depth – smart and substantial without being black. It is a classic colour for formal shoes and boots, and its strength means it gives excellent, even coverage.

Can I dye tan shoes deep brown?
Yes, and this is one of the best things about a dark shade like this. Because dye deepens colour, Deep Brown will comfortably take a tan or mid-brown shoe down to a rich, dark finish – just build it up in thin coats for the most even result.

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.
