I think Safeways had a leather dye but take the to the shoe repairers for a quote

Dave
most shoe repair places will sell you a recolour kit
with ...leather cleaner (it creates an 'open' leather surface)
and colour (black is good...covers anything)

You got one at yr local shopping centre?

Black eh, You obviously decided against the fluoro pink with Green stripes. :)

Don't know how it'd go on bike boots but I've repainted the girls dance shoes every bloody time they've changed dance schools. You can get the black spray stuff from most bootmakers I think. I t never comes off their dance shoes which cop a bit of a flogging.
