Has anyone here ever overdyed their engineer boots? I’d like a tutorial if one exists.

That never works for me because while it tightens up the instep it eats up too much space in the toes. 1/2 insoles just slide. I’ve given up.

Consider buying a full length leather insole and sand down the thickness of the toes and mid-foot so that there is minimal room occupied at the toes. This will prevent the insole from sliding forward as well. Even you don't have any power sanders, you can even use an $3 sanding block from the paint section of your local hardware. Dale's Leatherworks offers three different thicknesses of veg. tan insoles. I hope this link is allowed.

I've dyed other boots. Strip with acetone and apply dye.
