Saphir makes a resin based renovating repair cream

kirby has a good video on repairing a gouge



the less expensive route is to use a wax based polish and build up layers, but it does end up kinda gunky that way

Also to mention - Those boot toes look pretty dented like something slammed down on em or maybe they rode a motorcycle or whatever. That goes into the "toe counter" material which is usually a heat-solidified resin-impregnated canvas. A dented toe can sort of be fixed with some gentle heat/steam and massaging but to really fix it the counters basically have to be replaced.

Just my opinion as a shoe restorer. Nice boots either way and dang that Trofeo cashmere!

Thanks for that tidbit! It’s pretty decent right now as is and would be better if I fix the gouges + that dent you mentioned. I wondered what that was!

The cash blazer is sooo nice. The softest I’ve ever touched
