About this product
Angelus Instant Midsole Color in Jet Black is a black midsole paint for touching up scuffed, faded, and worn midsoles on sneakers. It also works as a shoe sole paint on dress shoes and boots, and each bottle holds 3.3 fl. oz. (100 ml).
We've made Angelus shoe care products in Los Angeles since 1907.
Works on
- Black and dark sneaker midsoles
- Rubber soles with scuffs or faded spots
- Soles of dress shoes and boots
Before you apply
Start with a clean, dry sole so the color goes on evenly. Scrub off dirt with Angelus Easy Cleaner and let it dry completely. For white or light midsoles, use Bright White or Vintage White instead.
How to use it
- Start with a clean, dry midsole.
- Apply an even coat over the scuffed or faded area.
- Let it dry before you add more color.
- Add a second coat anywhere you want more coverage.
- Touch it up as it wears to keep the sole looking fresh.
The color is semi-translucent, so heavier scuffs may need that second coat.

Common questions
Is this a permanent sole dye?
No. It wears off rubber soles over time, so it's made for quick touch-ups that are easy to redo.
What should I use for a longer-lasting black sole?
For a custom that lasts, paint the midsoles with Angelus Black Paint.
Can it turn a white midsole black?
It's semi-translucent, so it works best on midsoles that are already black or dark, and results on lighter midsoles vary.
Does it work as a sneaker sole paint and on dress shoes?
Yes. It works on sneaker midsoles and on the soles of dress shoes and boots.
Can I use it on any rubber sole?
Yes, as a rubber sole paint it's best on soles that are already black or dark.
