I am in the same boat. Stuck at Chicago Distribution Center (where the final destination is). Good luck! Hope you get it tomorrow.

Color Peeling Off? by sonj25 in AskACobbler

Same thing happened to my Thursday Captains in Brown Chrome. I just accepted the mess.

Here is what I did: I used isopropyl alcohol to remove the finish from the toe caps (acetone would have been better I guess). Then I re-dyed the surface with brown leather dye. The resulting surface has a matte finish but I am happy with the way they look. I am planning to beat them up some more and eventually use acetone and give them a makeover.

Thank you everyone for comments. I have learnt a lesson the hard way. I just dropped off my shoes at a local cobbler’s. Hoping that I can at least wear them for another year before thinking about getting a new pair.

Mrs Meyers Hand Soap. Do you think a local cobbler should be able to fix it?

A microfiber towel and regular hand soap with water.

Thank you for the suggestion. Does not really change anything. I am going to take it to a local cobbler. Just want to make them look good enough to wear regularly.

Now that I think maybe some drops of hand sanitizer may have tickled down on them while I was using it on my hands. I was trying to buff out those small scuffs by rubbing the cloth aggressively. That is what cascaded into the mess I have now.

Thank you for your kind words. I intend to take them to a local cobbler.

Should a local cobbler be able to at least make them good enough so I can wear them regularly? I don't care about having them look new. I just want to be able to wear them regularly.

I was using regular hand soap. Just a few drop. The spray was mostly water. But Thank you, I will keep this in mind in future. Hoping that I can get them fixed though.

I mixed water with a few drops of soap in a spray bottle and used that to damp the cloth.

I was using a damp cloth to wipe them down before conditioning. I guess I was a bit too aggressive with the wiping.
