tips for darkening suede

hi folks, treated myself to a pair of ugg boots for the winter.
First pair ever and are ex display at half price because the left boot is slightly lightened with the sun.
Do any of you clever people have any tips that might even the colour up a little.? I was thinking of buying a cleaner spray as im sure i read somewhere that these sprays darken suede a little.

    I have found in the past that the water-proofing /stain sprays can sometimes darken them a little, so you could try that? But I would do it gradually, and obviously more over the side that is lighter. I'm assuming they are light ones? Mine did darken with the sprays with the lighter colours.
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    They are chestnut, il try doing it gradually with the spray. If i have to wear them the way they are, well, im sure only i will notice, lol.
    For half price im not too bothered, could never have afforded to buy them otherwise.
