No, I wouldn’t bother. Had the same on my pair. Try applying dubbin several times. It should remove it

Would this warrant an exchange for you guys?
Molton's in rough out suede, I know they're going to get beat up but it's really bugging me.

Rough out suede is supposed to look rough. As the other poster said, try some dubbin.

You should be good.

Is that the one w/ Ms Alex Vigouroux? Very nice lady.

That is the one. Yes.

 

[shoeinvestor]

That is the one. Yes.

And I suppose the email address will still be working in the future? I mean, we still have GMTOs and MTOs running via Ms. Vigouroux.

That is staying in place. Alex called me to let me know the news.

Brecons in brown scotch grain bought new in 2016. They have seen a lot of usage, often in bad weather, a lot of miles. And still, the Dainite soles look like they will last a few more years before the first resole. Great boots!

Sample pickup from a few years back. Very olive shell and ridgeway soles.

Yes, shell variations can be amazing. I have Harlechs in dark brown shell that are similar in colour to those shoes of yours. All my other dark brown C&J shell shoes and boots are way darker and "browner".

Indianas getting a bit of a beating on a 6 or so hour hike, through a lot of snow as well.
When i got them a few months back i wasn't sure if i even liked them but they grew on me eventually, and 378 is just so good for long walks.

Been interested in these a while. How does the 378 differ from the 325?

side by side both in rough-out suede.
378 is tighter at the heel, very secure.
Its definitely a bit wider.
More height in the toe box, but that could be a cap toe vs non cap toe thing?
Same in the instep.
Definitely take both in the same size though.

Thank you that looks great. As much as I find the 325 family quite handsome I may be biting off more than I chew if I try to walk around in them a lot. For me personally I find the Trickers 4497 last shape is a more roomier and comfy fit. Maybe the Griezdale would be a good option for me at some point but for now I am picking up stuff from other makers as well so have to pause on the UK brands.

I haven't worn any 325 in a while, last time i did it felt so exhausting despite fitting me well. Having a much better time in EG72 which is quite similar imo.

As for 4497S, its shorter due to being rounder i guess and 378 might be a tiny bit wider still. Both UK10.

Camberley MTO from 2017 in tobacco suede on last 341:

Reminds me that I could imagine doing an identical MTO but in dark brown shell.
