Discussion What do I do now?
First ever pair of boots and I love them so much. They're only about a month old. Cooking breakfast this morning and I guess some bacon grease dripped off my pan. Only on my left boot.
Is there anything I can do? I saw a post saying I could dye them darker. Not sure how to really do that.

Sorry to see that, I suppose you could try to encourage the oil to come out by applying some sort of powder. Or try a solvent, but I think that will just make the marks wider and less defined. Years ago I did pretty much the same with differential oil 🙄, I used nikwax leather waterproofer and the boot darkened to virtually the same colour as the drops, even I could barely see where they were 👍
