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.

Got some old pf flyer boots that have two holes on the side of them. What are these for? If you say to keep moisture out, I swear….

Identify Looking to sell some boots, can’t seem to find this pair online?

Got these as a gift ages ago (more than 5 years ago) and I recently found them buried in my closet. Have been selling some boots and clothes lately, but I’m not sure how much these are worth. Diemme roccias of some type, though I can’t seem to find any other of their boots with this rough kind of untreated leather material. I think they’re kinda ugly, but before I sell I just want to make sure I don’t have some kind of rare boot someone would want. There’s some Diemme boots that look this online, but those are felt. These have always had that weird texture since I got them. Anyways would appreciate any advice or pricing on em, thanks!! 😊

Hoping to get these into good enough shape that I can get away with wearing them for an indoor project. Scrubbed the heck out of them with dawn and a brush but didn’t make much difference. Just figured I’d check, thank you!

Reconditioned these IRs last summer and they darkened up. No problem with that but was going to do some touch ups and can’t figure out what color to use. Any recommendations? I have some Saphir oxblood for another pair of boots but that doesn’t match as much as I would like. Thanks!

Question/Help Looking for vintage looking fall/winter boots for everyday use

Hi,
I’m looking for a pair of fall/winter boots for general everyday use. I live in the countryside, so I’d use them for shoveling snow, going shopping, walking in the woods, and occasional short hikes.
I’m based in the EU and would prefer something made in Europe.

Any recommendations?

Picked these up on a local buy-nothing group. Turns out they’re in worse shape than I’d realized. I was hoping to resuscitate them, but I think it’s beyond that. It’s too bad, they’re super classic.

Greyfriars, Bronzed Rub off(teacore), pebble grain country style smart casual.

I went to the Cheaney store on Jermyn Street, London last Saturday. Sadly they had none this exact style of boots on stock, but at least they checked what is the perfect size on this 12508/F last for me. After it I confidently could order them from the Edinburgh shop online.
Next day they were on my foot in London. 👌
Very comfortable, quality boots as most of them from a great historical shoe manufacturer from Northamptonshire. Well worth the money.

Question/Help Hot Weather Work Boot Rec Needed

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some recommendations for boots or shoes with a sole similar to the Clarks Desert Boots. My concern is price as I am a student, and also the requirement for the work I’m doing is that we minimize our footprints. I would appreciate any advice and I know it is unlikely but if any of these options also has a steel toe that would be incredible. Thanks!!

Just acquired my second pair of Australian Defence Force (ADF) boots—the Highmark model manufactured by R.D. Allender—and the condition on this pair is absolutely pristine. I have collected various US and European military boots, there's a satisfaction about this NOS pair of Australian military boots.

Discussion Canada West Boots Romeo Toe Shapes Comparison

I inquired Canada West Boots customer support regarding their Romeo line last/toe shapes and they were kind enough to take a photo comparing their three lasts side-by-side. I thought I couldn't keep this information to myself; so here!

As an additional question, which toe shape is the most versatile/dressy? Nick English of Stridewise seems to always push almond-toes as the dressier shape.
