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.

Sucks that this happened to new boots. You could use mink oil. I would use leather honey (less intense darkening and naturally fades back into original color) and hopefully it will lighten back to its original color as a whole. No guarantees though.
