Hello all,
I hope everyone's having a nice weekend so far. Could I please pick your brains on an issue I recently noticed with a pair of Crockett & Jones shoes I have in brown? As apparent in the attached photos, there appears to be "graining" of the leather on the left toe cap (not sure what the technical term here would be--perhaps it's a form of discoloration).
Here's what I have attempted to correct this issue so far:

Here's what I have attempted to correct this issue so far:
- Renovateur (and buff with brush), followed by MDO tobacco brown shoe cream (and buff with brush), followed by dark brown polish (and buff with with cloth). Does not appear to have worked
- Cleaning with Reno'Mat (followed by brushing and cleaning with water). Step 1 repeated, except I left the MDO shoe cream on for about an hour before buffing. Seems to have alleviated the issue, but does not appear to have completely fixed the issue
My questions for you all are:
- Does anyone know what this is? I'm sure "graining" is not the right term here
- What could cause something like this?
- Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?
