Right color of the boots soles?


Recommended Posts

Hi Sebastien,

 

It's actually more of a "wheat" or "tan" colour. Mustard is too yellow.

 

Also, see if you can get the boots with soles already in that colour - just makes things easier. ;)

If you can not find boots with the correct color of sole. You can paint them with any arts & craft ACRYLIC paint. I bought mine at Walmart for .50 Rub the sole down with Acetone (nail polish remover will work) Mix your paint with water prob 80/20 paint/water & brush on lite coats. 3-4 should be enough. Make sure the paint is acrylic, acrylic paint flexes when dry.

Hi Dart :) Ok guys, I think I found what I'm looking for! I bought a self shine shoe cream, amber brown color. I just want to give a punch to my sole who's a bit too light I think... I will teste it under the sole just to be sure. Hope the link for my images works, it's the first time since many years I use Imageshack !

Well... Sorry, I'm very late, so, here me comparison pic, I applied a self shine shoe cream on the soles (amber brown color) to give a punch. Now, I think the color is just perfect.

And after, for the weathering, I took a walk in the forest, the nature did the job well!
