Yes, that is correct. I forgot to mention I had them conditioned after. They were still a bit stiff, before I wore them, but once I started walking around in them they quickly softened.

They were red before. It was a beautiful nuance, but I never felt comfortable with it so I decided to dye them black. It felt even more necessary since I didn't have a par of black boots after I sold my bison tornadoes.

.

The following after pics were taken just a few minutes ago with my phone. Sorry about the quality. They look better irl. As you can see I only dyed the heel partially since I kind of liked the contrast.

holy **** that looks excellent. what would of been awesome is if they kept a little of the red undertones. i completely agree, i couldn't wear red all the time, esp to work, too much popping.

Yeah, after one application they got a rust brown undertone that was quite beautiful. But in the end I chose to turn them jet black.
