Why do you give a fuck if your boots are fading? your pants cover them anyway.

just redye them the same color?
theres no different process to re-dyeing something.

just boil the dye, and let the pieces sit in the dye for a while, then spray them off with cold water to cure the dye.

then try and find the same color.
cause if you start mixing colors, you'll be in for a surprise lol.

as far as heat, it depends on your stove, mine is like heat 1-8, and i set it to 8 till it starts to boil then turned it down to 5 or 6 and let them soak for like 20 min, maybe longer, just periodically lift them out of the dye and see if your diggin the color.

It's just like dying a lacrosse head. Heat water to almost boiling and pour it carefully into a bucket big enough for the tongue to be completely emerged. Pour the rit dye in the bucket. The longer you let the tongue sit in the RIT solution, the stronger and darker the color is.

do it about boiling temp and do not leave them in long you dont wanna melt the plastic(which would be hard to do) but better safe than sorry and since they have already been dyed you wont need to leave them in long maybe like 4 to 5 minutes and do about 3 coats of it
