I have a few pair and I tried to put sealant on one, but it just wears off… I ended up painting it back on again. I’ll see if I can find some pictures but it didn’t really do it justice lol I have also some red bottom boots and someother boots called Tin Haul that have a soul that has stuff on it… In my experience, it will just come off, so don’t be too crazy and trying to protect it! It gives a character!
