The Brown Horsebutt 2030s from S&S (labelled as Horween on the box) arrived today! Here's a quick snapshot. Unfortunately, I had to run out the door instead of spending more time checking them out, but my initial impressions are favorable!

The postman delivered these gently used CXL service boots today. My first pair in the 2030 last. They fit great and I like the shape of the boot. Now there is a slight small dark discoloration of the leather on the right side of the boot. Its darker as if maybe it got something on it. I used a soft brush and saddle soap on it very gently

which seemed to improve it slightly. Not sure if I should try anything else. Its not that noticeable in normal light. I know this natural CXL will patina over time. Any suggestions are appreciated
