Those boots are two weeks old!? Well I bet your blisters come from the bashing around and not the boot fit. No matter the environment the boots should fit well and not cause any blisters. Do alternate your boots every other day too. You do seem to get your boots to work! Enjoy them in good health and you certainly seem productive. Best wishes for your success. Seems some conditioning weekly and brushing daily would go a long way to prolonging their life. Enjoy!
I think people buy these boots and intentionally go around kicking things and walking roughly through stones and whatnot to get a "patina'd" look.
That would explain the fast evolution… Nice work.Brown Chromexcel
Completely agreed on having less than great luck with trying to buff/brush scratches out of CXL. A little bit of nose grease often does the trick for a while, but I think one has to embrace the scratches and gouges when going with CXL. While I certainly think a leather like Distressed Smooth is much more up to the task of being a "true workboot," I'll be wearing my #8 CXL BHs quite hard, and have no concerns about the scratches that they'll accrue. Given CXL seems like it almost has a cheat code for patina, I think the scratches are just part of that territory.^^ I have heard people talk about buffing out the marks on CXL with a brush, but honestly it has never worked that well for me. I have two pairs of boots in CXL, and while there is much to like about the leather, seann's boots shows just how quickly the it wears if you put it through any paces. If you're going to use boots for real work, I'd look elsewhere than CXL.
By nose grease do you mean LP?A little bit of nose grease often does the trick for a while, but I think one has to embrace the scratches and gouges when going with CXL.
