I would say it would be difficult to either match the colours, or apply a top colour.

 

There are coatings available for use with rubber but finding the right colour could be difficult.

 

Most paints will crack over time so I don't think that is an option.

 

You could try using a marker pen, test on a small area, with the right colour you may be able to match the two.

 

Personally I think it would be easier to start with a new pair of boots.

Go to Walmart & buy some arts & craft acrylic paint .50-$1.99 Find a brown color you like or mix a couple to get the desired color. Acrylic paint flexes when dry & you WILL NOT get any cracking. I've made a few pairs of boots & had to paint the soles. I use the .50 kind, I can't think of the name right now, but it's something like APPLE BARREL or close to that. I know it has a lil red apple on the label. Mix a few drops of water in the paint to thin out. You will probably need to use 3-4 coats. But it drys very quickly & can be completed in a couple hours.

IF you can get the boot soles painted to be the same colour and they don't crack all the time, then yes...

 

If not.. it'll be a new pair of base boots time.
