Happy Friday forum pals. Wrapping up boot week with suede. I have to say that I feel I really need to get back to shoes. Boots are terrific, but not for me for every day.

Is it normal for brand new 1493s to have these grey markings along the stitching for both L and R boots and on both sides of each boot?

I've seen that before, although it's a little sloppy. I think they use a silver pen / marker to mark where the stitching should go, but it looks a little off there.
