EVER PAINT OR DYE BIKE BOOTS???
I bought a pair of ALL WHITE Puma 1000's and I was exploring the option of painting or dying a few leather parts on them to break up all that white. Bike boots take a beating so i wanna do it and do it right or not do it at all. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience in this?

I wouldn't apply paint to any parts that flex a lot like the top of the lower. Paint on leather shoes will just crack revealing the color underneath. Dye might work better though.

Leather dye will work. Just wash/clean surface with menthol hydrate/rubbing alcahol first. Use a small/art type paint brush while applying around seams etc. Those cotton ball type applicators are tough to control in fine/delicate areas.

Ihave them in black already. I jus got these for $100 off the regular price and they were the only ones in my size. I would love to paint that puma swoosh Kawi green or something. Not tryingto paint the whole boot just some of it to take away from all that white.
