Angelus Walk on Red is the ultimate solution for restoring or repainting the bottoms of hard-soled shoes to a brilliant, glossy red finish. Specially formulated with a built-in hardening agent, this sole paint is designed to withstand regular wear, making it perfect for refreshing scuffed or worn-out soles on luxury footwear and dress shoes.

Ideal for restoring women’s “Red Bottoms” such as Christian Louboutin heels, Walk on Red brings back that signature look without compromising durability. The stain-based formula penetrates and bonds with leather soles, ensuring long-lasting color and professional results that resist cracking and peeling.

Why choose Angelus Walk on Red?

  • Specifically formulated for shoe sole restoration and repair

  • Adds a durable red finish that resists scuffs and wear

  • Perfect for leather soles, dress shoes, and high heels

  • Includes hardening agents for long-lasting results

  • Trusted by cobblers, sneaker customizers, and luxury shoe enthusiasts

How to Use:

  1. Clean and prep the sole surface before application.

  2. Apply thin, even coats of Walk on Red with a brush or applicator.

  3. Allow to dry completely between coats for maximum durability.

  4. Finish with an Angelus Acrylic Finisher or Sole Protector for added protection.

Pro Tip: For best results on luxury heels, mask the upper portion of the shoe to ensure crisp edges and a professional finish as well as lightly sand for better adhesion. 

Keep your luxury footwear looking flawless with Angelus Walk on Red as the professional choice for restoring, repairing, and customizing red-soled shoes.

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.

*Please note that our Neon Colors require a base color of a similar shade before application.*

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.

*Please note that our Neon Colors require a base color of a similar shade before application.*

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.

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.
