TGR-
To be honest I haven’t tried properly over a number of shoes to differentiate results of chrome vs veg tanned leather or with different finishes, but I believe the greater issue is the synthetic coatings applied to lower cost shoes. You need to strip back everything until you get a dull matted leather, that can absorb whatever colouring you apply.

Yea very likely... as above the key is getting off anything that is sealing and waterproofing the leather, as it stops the leather darkening.
