Anyone have any tips on blacking out football boots?

[spursman18]

I'm a big fan of the Nike Total 90 Lasers and I'm looking into buying a few pairs for next season. I've been looking on google at some links and came across this other forum and some people there had suggested to others to use paint for car interiors or leather paint? Never heard of either.

Another guy said he went to Auto Zone (car shop) and bought some leather/vinyl black leather paint, and said he had success using it. As well as using Fiebing's Leather Dye, heres the link for it....Fiebing's Leather Dye Professional Oil Dye

I've never attempted to do this but as some of you probably noticed as I obsessed over Parker's all black boots earlier in the season, I hate color in my football boots.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Just wear them!

Or unpick the stitching if the emblem is stitched on!

lol....thank you Unit.

If I cant find a solution to this problem, just I'll just get on with it I guess.

Mate I dont like these flashy boots either and when I played they made you a target............well for me anyway!!!

You needed to be fookin good to get away with a pair of white yellow or green boots.

Worry about what you do with your feet not what you have on them!

Most boots are coloured now, it's the posers who wear all black ones... ;p

Thank you gaffa! ha ha......I mean, its not a big deal in the end. But, if there is a way to do this and its easy then I'm definitely going to look into it.

I remember a game I played at an england coleges trial and this little chav cnut CF had one pink boot on. Remember when the pathetic Mecurial Vapours came out in silly colours?

I asked him why and he sucked his teeth (pet hate) and said something along the lines of "ma breadbins got one init". So I glimpse at their subs and low and behold another chav with one pink boot!

That gripped my shit and needless to say his "breadbin" was coming on after about 12 minutes when "pinkboot" was collecting his knee from row Z!

Gues who didnt last til half time........ Yep pinkboot mk2.

Needless to say the trial didnt go well. Apparently too aggressive!

How much colour is on the boots???, I use to black out the white puma on my kings, I just used shoe polish and then dubbin over it to make them shiny

See thats what I use on my boots now, but the polish doesnt black them out.....here what I'm thinking of buying. I dont know what material that green shite is but polish wouldnt work on that.

Get some Adizeros mate plain black with coloured stripes, either buy the all black ones

my advice is get a bog standard pair of £30/£40 boots and let your football do the talking. £150 boots make no difference compared to £30 boots. I've played with apalling players who have expensive boots but i've also played with semi professional players who have £20 boots and they're better than any player on the pitch- my advice is spend money on something worthwhile :P

Anything but black boots earned you mockery and injury in my day. Come to think of it, you really couldn't buy anything but black boots with white stripes/swooshes back then:

Anyway,@spursman18 this shit always did the trick for me, but you may have to apply it every couple of matches:

Kelly's Professional Heel & Sole Edge Dressing - 4 oz.

It's made to put on non-leather areas of the shoe, unlike the dye stuff.

The green part is rubber, nothing is really gonna cover it up (at least not for long). The whole point of those pieces is to grip the ball, but if you put something on them I think it would lose that affect.

So I wouldn't do anything to them, either wear them as is or get different one. They are nice shoes though, I used to have a pair.
