HOW TO CUSTOMIZE A CHEAP PAIR OF CATS

You get what you pay for, right? If you're no-income (like me) or low-income, you're definitely not wearing the best steel-toe work boots you could possibly have. Caterpillar Second Shift boots are one of the best quality, least expensive steelies out there, and that's what i wear. i used to see them on sale for as little as US$80, but recently they seem to go for $100 at the lowest. They have Goodyear welt construction, meaning the soles will never split apart from the uppers. They have a strong toe, and the leather is long-lasting. However, the dark brown ones (which you will most often see on sale) are just... well... not good to look at. So how would you fix them up on the cheap?

First off, i'm not big on logowear. i don't get paid to advertise for any corporation, so i remove or obscure all tags and logos -and i'll explain how to do that. Then i'm going to show you how to turn that dull, crappy brown into a rich oxblood color, all for less than $12. It's deeper than just buying the oxblood Kiwi polish at the Rite Aid: that stuff won't do much to CAT's proprietary brown. But don't worry, it will be easy. You're just going to need a few minimal tools and ingredients:

Moneysworth & Best Red shoe polish (or similar): $7 on-line

Black liquid eyeliner with a clogged tip: usually free if you wear makeup

Seam ripper: sometimes less than a dollar in the Housewares aisle at the grocery

Petroleum jelly: usually free in any given home

Optional: skate laces: $9

Directions

(If your boots are brand-new, you can skip the first and second step) Clean your boots with soap and water, making sure to get any dirt or mud out of the seams. Set aside to dry.

Coat boots with petroleum jelly, including the sides of the soles. Be generous. Let that sit overnight. WIpe off the excess, making sure to get all of it out of the seams. Buff and polish with a washcloth or a clean rag.

Use the seam ripper to pick out the individual stitches that keep the 'Steel Toe', sizing, and CAT logo tags attached. Remove only the sewn-on logos: if you try to remove the ankle logos, you'll be taking the boot apart.

Use the liquid eyeliner to black out the ankle logos and the seam stitches that hold the uppers to the soles. Trust me, the color will hold for a long time. If you've ever tried to get liquid eyeliner out of a bra, you know this.

Follow the instructions on the shoe polish: apply it, dry it, buff it. The uppers will turn oxblood red, and the seams will turn bright orange.

(Optional) Derby Laces makes roller skate and ice skate laces that come in some great colors. They also last forever. i got the orange ones so my boots are Virginia Tech colors. i didn't go to Virginia Tech, but fuck UVA.

Anyway, if you're on a very low budget and you wear steel toes, that's how to fix them so you don't look Bargain Basement.

PS- you can also use black polish, which is less expensive
