    Just want to say a huuuuge thanks to Quasar for this fab tip. I've just done my daughter's clarks cruisers and they have come out really well. I did look online for something to use, but came back to this tip as I hadn't read it properly and thought it was just for leather. Thankfully I read the nubuck bit and tried it.

    Fortunately I had some acrylic paints and mixed a rather shocking shade of pink to do them up and they look absolutely fab. Not brand new, but definately much better as I only realised how faded they were when I saw an identical pair on tele the other day. I've even done the pale pink flower bits as well. Yay, Ebay preloved shoes should cost £18, bought for £6.50 inc p+p and now looking almost brand new!!
