Thinking of having some boots dyed

I have a pair of 405 Aldens that are in need of a dye job. I want to make them a darker shade of brown. However I also want to keep the white toe stitching. What do you think of getting some Fiebrings leather dye & putting it on with a small brush such as the kind that is used on scale models?

I also really like the Daltons buy wish they came in black. What do you think of having them dyed?

Thanx!!!
Charlie

Odds are the stitching is done with a synthetic fiber that isn't going to absorb a dye. Have a professional do it.
