My 14-year old DS has found a pair of used ski boots that fit him nicely.
But they are purple and green and he is not too keen on buying them.
Since
he's likely to need a larger size next year, maybe we could paint them an
more acceptable colour.

Has anyone attempted this? What did you do, and how did it go?

Try a big black indelible marker pen.
