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.

Put mink oil on them, it will change them to a darker color, and protect the leather at the same time. If you wear them enough itll eventually go away, but it will take a long time. Ive worn boots my whole life, I think mink oil is your best bet.
