To prepare the shoe, use water or cleaning agent to remove excess dirt and debris from shoe.

Once the shoe is clean, use towel to dry shoe. You must ensure that the sole is completely dry and clean before Step #3.

Using the Sharpie pen, carefully trace the edges of the sole (around the bottom rubber sole and as close as possible to the shoe's upper material). This can help keep you from mistakenly marking any parts of the shoe you do not want to whiten. If needed, use the painters tape to tape off the outside of the edges.

Once you’ve outlined the edge of the sole, continue to fill in the middle while being careful not to mark any other unintended areas of the shoe.

Allow the shoe to dry. Once completely dry, check for any areas that may have been missed and fill in as needed. Allow the shoe to dry again.

Put shoes on and rock with confidence!
