new jeans + wet weather = stained boots :(

I was sooooooooooooo pleased with my new navy jeans.

Got caught in the rain and now my brown leather boots have navy jean juice all over them :rolleyes:

The boots weren't cheap, and they aren't available anymore. Anyone got any ideas how to restore my lovely boots? :o

    Try some leather cleaning wipes. If the cleaning wipes don't work you could try saturating a white sock in cheap vodka (such a waste though!) & gently patting (not rubbing) at the stain. This worked when I got biro on a cream leather sofa - so hopefully will work for you.

    Don't use any household cleaning products as this will almost certainly damage the leather & don't use anything abrasive as this will damage the grain.

  • I hate to say it, but if princess leah's idea doesn't work, you may have to dye them.

    I had a similar thing happen to my cream suede shoes. I dyed them black. You can buy the kits quite easily in Boyes up here, and I imagine on the internet everywhere?

    Just as a last resort, its worth knowing you can possibly save them in some form
