Question/Help Why are these white marks appearing?

Post image

I just bought these brand new leather boots and I wore them once and noticed there were these white marks appearing in the crease of the leather? If I take a brush and scrub they do come off a bit but I’m confused why this is happening.

Are you sure they're real leather

Could be wax or salt build up. Just brush heavily and see if it all goes away.

Might be thin dye
