This type of stuff is also used on watch strap edges
but I prefer properly tanned and colored leather (all the way through, so you its not that blue/white color), no need to color the edge

Oh, the edge dressing. Yeah. I love that stuff too but use a different brand. I never had the guts to use it on the shoes like you are (i saw too many guys taking short cuts in the navy and watch that fail spectaculary at inspection). I just used a Sharpie.
Did you have the Traub experience? At Great Lakes and Cinclantflt, there was a strange tenor player. Got dinged regularly for shoes and his knots.

No, I wasn't in the band - I went the submariner route. I put my horn down for 6 years while I was in.
