New Old Boots


 Looking through my winter wardrobe 
I was lacking a pair of really good brown boots

I did have though a pair of light tan boots that I really liked 
but didn't seem to wear as often as I might simply because 
well, light tan isn't the boot I want to put on every day 
so out came the implements

Good shoe brushes
and good polish 
(I recently learned that you set the polish alight for a moment
which makes it turn liquid and solves the crumbly problem)
+
a little elbow grease 
and my tan boots 
were transformed to a beautiful pair of brown boots that 
I have worn non stop 
and didn't spend a cent on 
I particularly like the way the brown polish caught 
in the seams

  2. Yes! One of my favorite tricks ... So far, I've resurrected a purse and a pair of boots. Yours look great and the DIY satisfaction is hard to beat.

  4. Those are beautiful leather boots. Were you convinced they would turn out like this, or did you take a risk?
    Will the polish alone keep them permanently dark brown?

    Wear them in good health
