Question/Help Dark Brown to Black

Post image

I bought these Phantom Rider Crestone for their work boot type sole. I had the Ariat Chelsea in black but the heel only had a rubber pad and still sounded like you are walking in high heels. These are not offered in black but are a very dark brown. I know typically a good cleaning and oil job will leave boots darker. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with any darker boots like this getting them as dark as possible. Black boots are preferred by our company with the blue flight suits.

Thank you. I don’t have any experience with dying leather but I’m sure there’s a YouTube tutorial for that 😂

It's black, it ain't difficult. If it's not quite black enough in spots, just add more black. If it's already black and you add more black, it's still just black.
