How would I go about removing scuffs from goat leather?

 

[brad-t]

maybe i'm wrong but i can't imagine you can actually remove a scuff, just mask it with polish. a scuff is a removal and abrasion of material, so you can't remove it.

 

[fungz0r]

Ah so i should be looking at applying some polish on it?

THoughts on ViridiAnne Boots? How does the sizing work.
Boris Bidjan Sabieri or whatever the ****? I got my eye on some but it will be an On-lines purchase.

Anyone have any experience with a cobbler stretching out shoes? Does it add much room (not looking for length)? I bought a pair of Guidi donkey derbys. The low toe box is killing me, and a crease in the leather has formed that's making it basically unwearable.

Wondering if I should try stretching them or just sell them.

supposedly it getts better as you wear them,

shoe stretching normally doesnt add length, i believe its width, but stop by and ask the cobbler

so when you guys get half-soles put on your shoes, did you just get em glued on? i got a pair of boots done and they're stitched into the sole or something. don't wanna do that with my cdiems. i think it had to do with the wear on the boots, though...

anyone know if these guidi have a toe cap?

Some of my boots are 'wrinkle cracking' I'm guessing its the dry and cold weather. Any ideas what should i put on them to revert/prevent this from happening?

who makes the third ones down? They are real nice

Heres what Im rocking recently I love these, but they're taking forever to break in. Heavy reverse calf. These are my snowboots.

I don't like these, uncomfortable and fragile, but the mismatched scarred leather is awesome. Gonna sell and get some Augusta or Avantindietro derbies, something fun to break in.

My favorite boots, I mainly wear these travelling because they're light, durable, really soft leather, sheepskin. Really durable. I've broken two sets of laces and gone through two resolings, the uppers are still good. Have been worn backpacking through Vietnam, India, Thailand, etc. for weeks on end. I don't like the creasing at the toe, but not really an option with sheepskin boots

the previously mentioned marsells, leather is awesome. Dirty from walking through mud, need to clean. Perfect boots, other than the toe-shape I don't like. I wear these through the snow in the winter to work.

worn less than 10 times

heres what a worn pair will look like. They're reversed waxed horse, as the wax finish wears off it will reveal a suede-like surface

not quite at the $700 mark are alden cordovan boots and jil horse derbies

/\ Some regular conditioner.

 

[Nerkg]

Who makes these and WHERE. Can I buy them?!
