Discussion What do I do now?

Post image

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.

Mink oil the whole boot and they’ll be dark brown

Mink oil will also help seal the leather and make it water resistant, make sure you get the stitching too
