Studio Belvedere Sesto shoes-from pimp to posh

Had a buddy that found a deal on a $350 pair of shoes for $35, they just didn't match his wardrobe so asked me if i'd take a crack at 'em...here's the result.

Looks good! I have to say, almost anything would be better than that green. LOL

I like both pairs. I must admit to liking the brown better. Great remake. Thank you for  sharing. 

If I can ask. Did you strip them then dye them brown. Or just go over the base color with brown?

I used a deglazing solution of alcohol and lemon juice and wiped then down, then let dry and dyed with a reduced dark brown fiebings at 50/50 after that.  Used a little kiwi brown polish to finish it off
