Dress boots? No way

[Corey Paulsen (teamkabob)]

I have a pair of Lowa Tibets that I decided to dye black. One reason was because my work boots have to be black or I can't wear them. Two was: I've always wanted a pair of black Tibet boots. Do I need a boot this tough for work. No, but they look good. I was a shoe cobbler in my high school and aslo in my college days, thanks to dad for the job!

Looks good. What did you use to do it?

Also, are those the factory soles/rands. The rand looks different...

Those don't even look like the same boot. Nice job!

These are factory boots, I bought them in 2013 for a trip to Alaska. I do think they change them recently. Used fiebings leather dye black and a cream shoe polish black, then buff to the shine you want.

Thanks Justin

I wonder how they'd look with Abercrombie & Fitch slacks ??

just kiddin' ... I'd have gladly worn these at the station for duty boots (and nobody would have been the wiser)
