The boots I ordered are despicable. I rested accidentally the suitcase in my foot and the paint came off. I can just use my fingernail and can leave a<br />mark (light, yellow leather). Alarmed I used brown shoe cream to cover it - that seems to work. This would require me to re-tan entirely by hand. This is not customer friendly.<br /><br />I spent about half an hour to color the new boots. I am dissastisfied with the result. If I press the leather from the inside (sort of poking through) the light yellow shows through. Maybe If have to use even more shoe shine wax. All in all I am disappointed.
