short answer is no you probably can't dye them.

not sure what your boots are made of but mine are a fake leather...that being said you could try dying them but they're a sythetic fabric something along the lines of pleather I havent tried dying them so I cant say for sure that it will or wont work, but you can very easily make your own if you have a sewing machine or can get your hands on one. simply take the boot off and use it as a patern for the new boot.

also if you have a dark interior you'll have a dark boot which is nearly impossible to dye any color but a darker color.

you can get replacement boots from just about any car accessory site however they will not be custom fit like a home made one would be. you could also go pay to have a custom made boot but expect to pay 75 bucks or so if you do it this way.

best thing is take the boot off the plastic thing make a new one yourself and staple the new one back on.
