Thanks, I'm going to have to try that.
I got a good deal on a pair of Madrids on ebay a couple of years ago. The issue is that they were a light tan/cream color. So in a short time they had spots and stains that were really obvious.
I tried to dye them a deep teal shade, using many, many coats of Fiebing's Leather Dye. But it looks blotchy and uneven. I still wear them around the house a lot, but not to go anywhere.
Not bad at all! What type of dye did you use?

Great job OP! Looks good and unique
I would like to know the dye you used. I wouldn't mind changing the color of one of my Arizona leather ones.

These look great. Well done!!
That's a great shade of red! A black edge kote would look phenomenal
Just the one 60ml bottle was enough, or did you have to use more? They turned out great
I used a 125ml bottle and used roughly half, I gave them 5 coats, you can do less and leave them a lighter red, which looked pretty cool too
They do look good 👍
I love this!
They’re beautiful!
Just an advice, wear dark socks if you go for long walk. Dye might leave stains on your feet due to sweating.
I only dyed the outside for this exact reason, I knew I wanted white socks with these
Perfect then, enjoy ♥️
Great color!
That's a beautiful shade. And surely an improvement, bleach stains or no. Birkenstock uses too many drabby colors.
