>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 12 01:50:35 2016 No.12043072 looks pretty sweet, I like the idea of the chrome coming through with time. Make sure to put some waterproofing stuff on them just to be safe. White laces were a good move.

I'd think that the natural creasing in the shoe will do a decent amount of work, but maybe just wear them roughly around (inside) for a week or so to get the process started.

t. someone who knows very little about this so really do whatever feels good, its diy after all

cleaned the shit out of them with alcohol/water mix
3 or 4 coats fiebing's black leather dye
a coat of fiebing's resolene
and let them dry

They are a bit too shiny irl from the resolene. I may try dulling them a bit with alcohol.

I need a pic wearing them
