Angelus Brand midsole paint delivers fast, reliable results trusted by professionals and sneaker enthusiasts alike. Each formula provides smooth, even coverage, helping restore faded midsoles to a clean, factory-style finish. 

The paint is easy to apply and dries quickly, helping you refresh midsoles fast. 

Backed by over 100 years of U.S.-based craftsmanship, Angelus Brand continues to set the standard for high-performance midsole restoration. 

Whether you are touching up a single pair or working on multiple shoes, this midsole paint helps you achieve a clean, polished look on faded midsoles.

Angelus Brand midsole paint is a professional-grade solution designed to refresh and recolor midsoles with a smooth, even finish. It offers easy application, helping users achieve a clean, factory-style look without streaks. 

The special semi-translucent formula maintains the shoe’s natural texture, giving each pair a more realistic and refreshed appearance. Because of its composition, results may vary when changing to a color very different from the base tone. 

It performs best on midsoles already near the desired shade, such as Bright White on white or light midsoles, and Jet Black on black or dark midsoles. 

While not meant to be permanent on rubber, this 3.3 fl oz (100 ml) paint is made for quick midsole touch-ups.

Painting your midsoles is simple with the right tools and steps. Follow this quick guide to clean, prepare, and apply midsole paint for a smooth, refreshed look.

Prep: Clean the Midsoles

Start by removing dirt, stains, and residue to ensure even paint coverage. Use Easy Cleaner to lift grime without harming the surface, or try our Easy Cleaner Kit for a brush-and-towel combo that speeds cleaning. 

For deep cleaning or restoring older pairs, explore all Cleaners & Conditioners from Angelus Brand. A clean surface ensures better adhesion and smoother color application across the midsoles.

Mask for Crisp Edges

Keep your work clean by taping off the uppers, outsoles, and design lines before painting. Use a red masking tape for straight lines or a premium red vinyl tape for tight curves and complex shapes. 

This prevents paint bleeding, giving your shoes a sharp, professional finish and helping you maintain a factory-style edge when restoring or customizing midsoles.

Choose Your Instant Midsole Color Shade

Select a color that closely matches your shoe’s original tone for best results. Since the midsole paint is semi-translucent, it blends best with similar base colors. 

Try Bright White for white sneakers, Jet Black for dark midsoles, or Vintage White for aged or retro looks. Matching the shade ensures consistent coverage and a clean, uniform finish.

Apply in Light, Even Coats

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Apply the midsole paint in thin, even layers using smooth strokes. 

Afterward, let each coat dry completely before adding the next to achieve full color and prevent streaks or buildup. This technique delivers high-quality results and a professional-level finish every time.

Optional Protection After Full Cure

Once the paint has cured, add extra durability and shine with a protective finish. Seal the surface using a urethane clear coat. 

Choose Matte 4-Coat for a natural look, Satin 4-Coat for soft sheen, or High Gloss 4-Coat for reflective shine. This layer adds scratch-resistant protection and a long-lasting, factory-quality appearance to every pair.
