How do you restore the black colour of heels on leather shoes?

I bought a new pair of shoes the other week for a formal do. It was a very wet and muddy evening, and unfortunately I got a great deal of mud over my shoes. When I went to clean my shoes, the mud and dirt washed off of most of the shoe except for at the heels, where some brown and grey areas formed after I'd (perhaps a bit too zealously) tried to wash off the mud. I was wondering if any one is aware of any remedies for restoring the black colour of the heels?

Reply:I use a black felt tip pen or permanent marker. DO NOT USE ON PATENT LEATHER.
Reply:Use a leather product from the Fiebings company called EDGE-KOTE - get the Black colour (of course)


A small jar is about £4 and will last years - uts what was put on the shoes at the factory - so is the best option for not a lot of outlay
Reply:You know what, it sounds daft but black spray paint makes leather shoes look like new again. I swear, it's brilliant.
Reply:Try black felt-tipped pen.
