I love the colour they are but may try this if I can&#39;t find a way to remove the stain. <br /><br />Nic xNic StrawberryBlondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05402011611591634516[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-7212949165787679752013-11-19T13:33:58.140+00:002013-11-19T13:33:58.140+00:00I know Donna!

They were a bit hard this morning I have to say but the instructions say that you need to brush them with a suede brush when dry so that may make a difference. I&#39;ll keep you posted! Oh and you&#39;ll probably need 4 or 5 bottles - I easily used two on these as the colour difference was so different. xschoolgatestylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11374320337030060565[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-62104299855236839752013-11-19T07:45:38.667+00:002013-11-19T07:45:38.667+00:00Yay, thanks for this post.

Getting them dyed professionally was going to cost more than the boots did in the first place so I am glad that you had success dyeing your own. Did the suede stay nice and soft when the dye dryed, or did it go a bit hard?sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17839286196047989551[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-80820439230904725352013-11-18T22:03:43.072+00:002013-11-18T22:03:43.072+00:00OMG - I&#39;d be so freaked if I ran out half way ...OMG - I&#39;d be so freaked if I ran out half way through? What if the next batch of dye doesn&#39;t match perfectly? Will it be like when you&#39;re decorating and you need to find serial numbers on tins of paint to make sure they all come from the same batch?
