I have a soft leather baby shoe that I want to restore back into shape. Will this be safe for a 110 year old shoe?

I would think it would work great. I have used it on suede and smooth leather shoes and boots with no issues. It does not leave any indication they have been treated.

I have been using it on a new pair of Doc Marten loafers. Not really dress shoes, but nicer than my boots and romeos. It works really well, and keeps them looking new. As for the finish on your dress shoes, that I do not know. If the shoes can take a treatment like this rather than just polish, I think it should be fine. But, like Gary said, I would check a small area first.

It will soften the leather ! I use it once a week to keep looking new and soft!

I would say it probably would not work well on leather boots, I would invest in some mink oil or a product specifically designed for leather

It will restore the natural shine and condition the leather but as far as I know it will not make the item smell new again.

It doesn't matter of your shoe size. You should be fine. Both me and my husband use it and he has big feet and I have small feet.

I would not think that this product would work for this use. I use it as a protection from toe rubbing on a shoe. It is very soft and does not have the stiffness needed for straigtening.

You mean like a knitted sock bottom to some no-slip rubber soles, or something similar? It should, but make sure you use some sandpaper on anything with a very smooth surface. I was able to glue a slick piece of leather to some cotton fabric, but the first time I tried, they came apart because I hadn't sanded the leather properly to give it a good surface to adhere to (it was nearly glass-like with how slippery and smooth the surface was before I roughed it up).

I believe it would, I tried this to stretch a pair of peep-toe pumps. However, I did not like it because it did not stretch evenly; left "bumps" in the leather. Ended up using shoe stretcher spray and a thick pair of socks which worked better.

I took some old gym shoes and put industrial strength Velcro on the lower part of the footrest and onto the bottom of the shoes by the heel. Works great!

Any kind of smooth leather. You can't use it on kind of leather with a fur or hair on the surface like nybuck. I have used it since 1968 when we used it on football shoes. Works great on any smooth leather

The best way would be to try it on a test spot of the same acrylic paint, and then test it on old shoes of the same material, or a small hard to see area of your shoes. Good luck.

probably... but depending on the material of shoes, it could possibly damage wear down the finish.

Yes, but I would advice against it. Given that the sole of the shoe will wear-out the bottom elastic band at a much faster rate. I don't think it will last for long, specialy if your going to use the guards during bag work.
