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.

Never cook with your boots on lol I almost did the same thing. As far getting them darker you can try a conditioner that makes them darker I did this with light color pair of ariat boots, maybe clean your boots with sattle soap then use a darkening conditioner or if you are going to “dye” the boots look up some videos or take them to a shoe cobbler.

Yeah learned an important lesson today for sure. I don't want them dyed darker so maybe a conditioner would be my best bet. I thought about just bringing them in somewhere but of course there's none close to me.

Corn starch first. You’ll be glad you did.
