It's a great leather and a nice twist for a black leather boot. It's a tough leather as well, considering they were my daily boots for some time and don't need to be conditioned. I'm going to hold off conditioning until they actually need it.
what product did you use?

I also have the Vitello Noirs and so far, have not condtioned them. Just some light brushing to remove the dust when I get home (my commute to work is on foot). I've wanted to preserve the matte finish as long as possible and keep them from getting too soft. There is a pair in the DR patina post v.4 - they had taken on some sheen but have been conditioned a couple of times.

I haven't conditioned mine, it was @7sport who conditioned his pair. I'd use bick 4 for my matte black calf boots.

Those are nice black boots but different leathers that seem pretty similar, but I think Maryam's has more of a nubuck finish. The matte black calf....I think there was a brown version too, is from Guidi.

The leather still looks like this overall, but with wear the leather has become nappier which gives them a dusty look.

I never acknowledged how much the toe has really collapsed. This is over 2 years of daily wear.

Cuoio is drop 4 2020, then we had a pricr hike for SS21 and another for AW21 + now its an additional 20$ for BCT HB for no explicable reason
Question on this one...is the Cuoio HB from drop 4 2020 also TPR version or unglazed / non-TPR ?
Just curious....

Thanks ??
I've got some of the jacked up 310 cuoios, one of the ones that made it through production. Generally speaking shiny HB from Maryam is TPR though.

Is the country boot still a thing? Just realized I haven’t seen it in a minute aside from a couple left at WF. I’d still love to add one to the horde one day.
