That one is interesting. Could be a nice way to reuse shoes with wear marks. I wonder why it didn't become a common thing. Was it impractical or had toxic stuff? has anyone around here ever seen it when it was for sale?

I'd wager like with any paint, even with a perfect application, it would scuff and peel easily. Thus becoming unattractive while ruining your previously more attractive shoes?
