Angelus Walk on Red is the specialized technical solution for restoring, repairing, or customizing the bottoms of hard-soled luxury footwear. Formulated with a unique built-in hardening agent, this high-performance coating is specifically engineered to provide a brilliant, glossy red finish that mimics the iconic look of designer "red bottoms," such as Christian Louboutin heels. Unlike standard acrylics, the Walk on Red formula is designed to penetrate and bond deeply with leather soles to ensure a resilient finish that resists the high-friction environment of walking.

To achieve a professional-grade result, the sole must be thoroughly cleaned and prepped with a deglazer to remove any oils or factory topcoats. Applying the paint in light, uniform coats allows the integrated hardening agents to cure correctly, creating a durable barrier that resists cracking, peeling, and excessive scuffing. Once the 24-hour curing cycle is complete, the finish provides an industrial-strength, waterproof surface that revitalizes worn luxury soles to their original factory-fresh aesthetic.

Formula: Water-based acrylic resin with integrated hardening agents for maximum sole durability and permanent adhesion.

Application: Best applied with a brush or sponge in thin layers; light sanding of the sole is recommended for enhanced mechanical bonding.

Coverage: High-density red pigment designed for maximum opacity; 2 oz. bottle provides enough coverage for multiple pairs of heels.

Durability: Engineered for high-stress contact areas; provides superior resistance to water, abrasion, and environmental wear.

Sizes: Available in a 2 oz. container, optimized for precision luxury restoration and custom footwear projects.

PAINTING LEATHER

1. Prepare leather surfaces using 3-5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag. (acetone can also be used).

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. When dry, wipe with microfiber cloth to remove any remaining dust particles.

3. Apply Angelus Paint with paint brush, airbrush (at least 0.35mm nozzle) or sponge. Apply 3-5 coats or until desired coverage has been reached. Less coats can be used for line work and detail work.

Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

4. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before allowing paint to bend or flex. Be careful of flying lint or debris getting on the shoe to avoid imperfections. Longer curing time ensures better durability.

5. To add extra protection or customize the finish, apply Angelus 4-Coat Clear Coat in Flat, Satin, Glossy, or Matte. Use 1-2 layers for the best results. 1-2 layers on top.

PAINTING CANVAS/DENIM - SHOES, CLOTHING, AND MORE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get out all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the canvas.

2. Make sure there is adequate dry time and that you wipe off and get all the cleaner out.

3. (Optional) If you want to make the paint soak in and not be as rubbery textured on canvas we suggest using our product 2-Soft mixed with our paint. You can paint Angelus paint directly on canvas without it but it just will feel more like a screen print then part of the shoe. When using 2-Soft you must heat set.

4. Paint with 3-5 light layers of Angelus Paint. Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

5. Leave to dry.

(Optional) No additional protection is really needed as the paint has soaked into the canvas. If you want to change the sheen to a matte or glossy look instead we do suggest our 4-Coat Clear Coat.

Now that I am customizing shoes, I needed something for the heels and soles, but haven’t trusted regular paints to hold up to sidewalks and pavement.
Purchased walk on black and red.
Have applied and am doing four coats of finisher across a few days.
Coverage is excellent and I cannot scrape the new colors off with a fingernail.
Now, let’s see how it holds up to “the streets of San Francisco”!

The beeeeeeesttttt

Walk on red

I like the way it looks on shoes

The best paint on the market

I have never been disappointed using Angelus paint. I have purchased less expensive leather paint and have regretted not having used Angelus paint in the first place. A little goes a long way, it won't crack or chip if you follow their directions. Shipping is fast and their selection is unbelievable. If you want it done right the first time look no further. You won't be disappointed.

Very nice !!

Keep walking

This works well on leather soles. Needs to be carful on cement as this is abrasive to many finishes.

Walk on Red

Bought some Walk on Red and high gloss acrylic finisher and it worked perfect in repairing my girlfriends Louboutins

Works great! However, wanted brown walk on and you only had red and black. So I mixed it and made it work.

Great review

Product came well packaged & in a decent amount of time.
First shoe down, 2nd to be finished soon

Louboutin Refresher

The soles of my Louboutin flats and heels needed a "red" carpet refresh and this item worked wonders. Its not the exact "Louboutin Red", for obvious reasons. But, the color is sooo close to the original and I'm happily satisfied.

Walk On Red
