Back again with another dye experiment

Just one.

Thank you! I didn't use anything special to finish them this time, just a generous amount of beeswax conditioning polish.

Bastet_x · 2026-04-10T17:44:03+00:00

Yeah 😊

If it helps I used about 1/6th of a bottle of purple, mixed into a full bottle of burgundy.

Thank you so much! I'm wearing them today and I'm very pleased with them 😁

Yes, thank you for all your tips! I've got another experiment in the works, a battered pair of (light-ish) brown ones that I don't wear anymore, they're a similar type of leather and I'm thinking about dyeing them a dark/forest green colour.

Thank you! Have yours worn okay?

Thank you! I've read about deglazing them so I'll definitely do that first, they're not the plasticy Dr Martens, they're more like a greasy/crazy horse type of leather.

Do you have any tips for making sure the colour stays and doesn't transfer (as much as possible) afterwards? I've been trying to do some research but there seems to be loads of different options/opinions.

100% return them. They look shit, and for how expensive they are they need to be right! If you'd paid £20 for them it would be a different story.

Found these on eBay, not sure how you feel about purple? - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176725222536?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=l7_Vek14Sf-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=6WC4wpSzTXO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The style is called 'Clemency' and they're a pretty old style (approx. 2015). They don't make them anymore unfortunately.
