Cosmetic is what it looks like to me.To the shell cordovan experts here, what do you make of the whitish streak right above the heel welt of the boots I just took delivery of? I primarily want to know if it's cosmetic or a structural damage. For example I know the welting process involves using a heated metal tool around the edges, so worst case scenario is the hot iron accidentally burnt the leather there.

Basically, if it's cosmetic I'll just polish it over and not care. If structural, I'll contact the seller.
