Do you think that dying boots can affect the boots ?

I would bet on it either looking like shit, ruining the boot, or both. I would think that spray paint and a clear coat would be the best way to do it, but I dunno I've never dyed anything before.

Thanks for the answer.. and i'm not sur about srpay paint :/ that could end by a really shitty result..

Those are race boots?

Yes, increasing the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the plastic by transferring heat into the boot can adversely effect the way the boot fits, especially if someone has worked on the boot already.

Just get some fucking Krylon.

If you really care about how your boots look, you are probably pretty familiar to having a dick in your mouth.

having dyed my own rollerblade boots green in rit dye in not boiling water im going to say, you dont need boiling water just do it starting with boiling and do it overnight and it shouldnt make a difference to the boots or the outcome colour but im sure there was a memeber who knows alot about dying boots but cant remember off the top of my head, there has been threads in past about this so try searchbarring

oh ok thanks !

I would not recommend boiling your ski boots. For starters, these are not race boots at all and this means that the plastic is not very thick (probably about 3.5mm shell wall thickness in most spots). If you boil this boot, it most likely warp, especially the sole. That could cause major issues with binding entry and obviously release. Even if it is off by a degree or few mm, it will be out of DIN norm and potentially a big hazard.

If you want to change the color, get a sweet can of Krylon and go do town. Have someone with Photoshop design you new decals and go to a place that makes high quality stickers/decals. Bing bang boom, black boot with new graphics.

+in the FT bootcontest where people post their boots and worst boot gets a new pair of FT, i've seen numerous pairs of dyed boots simply boken or even shattered ....

Thanks to both of you :P

I have a slightly different opinion on the matter.

I personally have dyed two pair of SPK Kaos boots. As mentioned, I would not "boil" the boots as it could definitely deform the plastic. Rather, I heated up several pots of water and placed the boot shell in the hot water with dye. It's a long process (4+ hours) for them to dye.

I myself, have had zero issues with either pair of boots. However, I never physically measured any deformation in the boot, so I cannot promise, with 100% certainty that it wont affect your boots. I can just tell you that I noticed no notable difference in the boots, other than the color.

However, judging from the picture, I don't think the dye would turn out very well on your boots. I don't think the gray glossy plastic will take the dye very well.
