Hey Everyone!

I'm new to this thread but I've already learned a lot looking through all of your great posts. Quick question, I recently purchased some tan cronmoks. I love them, however, I'd like to find a way to alter the color from tan to more of a reddish tone. I've attached pictures of my tan cronmoks along with a picture of the tone that I'd like to get them to.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to alter the color (e.g. oils, dyes, etc.)? Thanks so much.

I just bought tan Cronmoks and want to darken as well. I haven't tried yet, but looking at either neatsfoot oil or Obenauf's leather oil.

Any suggestions on which will darken best?
