Softee grain

These Bourton are Smoked red, if they were dyed how dark would the new colour have to be ?

I think @Munky did something with some very red Bourtons to tone them down.

Thanks,I did a search but I couldnt find much information.
If anyone has any information or pictures I would be interested.

He sent them out to be done.

No more red shoe shame. What an incredible job The Shoe Healer has done on my, now burgundy, shoes. Very many thanks to Ann, Antony and all at the shop. I am really pleased with these. The look even better in the flesh and have been burnished. They are over 5 years old. Wonderful! Photo courtesy of The Shoe Healer.

I am wondering if the Trickers Marron colour would be too light ?

I am guessing that the original colour was Poppy red ?

They were funchal red which is very red.

They were funchal red which is very red.

But @cerneabbas 's Bourtons are corrected grain, I wonder if they'd take on a new colour as easily as Funchal which is quite a soft leather so maybe more absorbent?

I hadnt thought of that....

I did. I sent my very bright red Bourton's to the Shoe Healer. They made a beautiful job of turning them into a burnished burgundy. I am very pleased with them.

Oops, sorry, I missed your message above...this is the same thing.

Did you get the eyelets changed as well ?

No, just the colour of the shoes. I know that Crafty has had eyelet changes at different times. They have always looked good.

Are burgundy Stows or Eatons in calf leather made only as GMTOs now (not referring to kudu here)? I don't see any burgundy boots on the official Trickers website.

Eaton is pretty much only via special makeup either for a retailer or mto. May have been some done for the outlet. I think they’ve done burgundy Stow for the outlet.
