Step 1

Put on the rubber gloves. Crumple up the newspaper and put it inside the boots. Stuff enough newspaper in the boots so they stand up straight without additional support.

Step 2

Open up the can of leather dye. Apply the leather dye to the suede using the applicator from the bottle. Coat the surface of the boots with the dye. Evenly coat the boots and touch up any areas that may have been missed. Allow the dye to dry for at least 24 hours.
