On one of my waxed boots it almost looks like the leather is cracking or flaking. Anyone else have this?

Clean boot:
1000


Flaked boot:
1000


I'll try and post a more accurate picture later. Hard to capture when they are on my feet...

And yeah, my waxed flesh boots are like that as well. I do think that's normal as the wax flexes and kind of breaks up as the leather moves.
