Wow, what great information and pics.

That is really, really useful.

I was initially leaning towards dyeing my boots, even though the SU ones were painted, as I was afraid that the painted surface would scratch too easily.

After a little research it seemed that dyeing black boots to a brown would be almost impossible.

Thankfully Mark put me in the direction of the 'Meletonian Nu Life' sounds like a great product and I think it's the route I'm going to take.

Cheers for the heads up Mark!

I would love to send my boots to Chris to paint but postage makes it too expensive.

I already paid well over $100 to get them from the US to the UK, so two more postings would make them a very costly pair of boots!

I think I'm going to mask off the buckles and the toe cap as I like that look as well.

Mine aren't the exact type of Sidi's as teh SU ones, mine are the version before.

They have the flat buckles, but not the 'roller' type, they have a tread and they don't have the front name plate on the shin.

From lookinng at the screen it looks like this version was used by some of the Warriors.

Can anyone confirm that?

I'll try and get some pics up soon.

Thanks again to Mark for the great info.

Cheers,

Andy
