    I got these really nice shoes but they have this ugly ass white streak on the side of the sole. Is there anyway to paint it black to match the rest of the shoe? I've tried everything from spray paint to permanent marker, but nothing seems to last very long before rubbing off :(

    -Thank You

    i think they make special spray paint that sticks to plastic, but i doubt it would work on rubber. the problem with rubber is that it's too flexible, which causes any paint to crack right off. you'd need to find a very flexible medium.

    Yeah I was gonna try that Fusion plastic spray paint, but I cant be the only guy in the world that wants to paint the sole of his shoe or any type of rubber for that matter.

    It doesn't have to be paint either, if there is some kind of way to stain, dye or whatever any advice is appreciated :)
