Looks like a great grain leather with a lovely patina. What are they?
The grain leather on these is quite thick but supple. Likely to be cowhide rather than calf leather. I've only ever applied neutral creme/polish to these as opposed to any colour. Which i think helps with any patina. These are a Barker Dixon

I generally stopped buying Barker's a few years ago. Find them too expensive for what they are (unless bought on sale) and felt the insoles and footbeds to be of light quality. These Dixon boots are an exception.

But giving credit to Barker where its due. They do a brilliant job in terms of their designs/styles, their neat exterior finishing and their treating of leathers (e.g. hand painting, giving patina etc).
