I LOVE your cowboy boots, TheArtThropologist!! I've LOVED cowboy boots since I was little! I have a broken-in brown pair with a more pointed toe. They're a dark shade of brown. I wear mine with loose jeans, jerseys and even shorts!! I LOVE the stitching on the toe of cowboy boots. I think it makes them stand out more. I LOVE how they make me look taller. I'm 5'10" and I wear size 12. Cowboy boots need their own paid holiday!! :) :) I feel the same way you do about cowboy boots! 👍😎😊👊 I want a black pair next, maybe with the metal toe taps on them!! Can't wait!!
I feel your not fully understanding what Saphir Renovateur is actually used for! It's not a filler. It's a cream leather conditioner, that's all! You would be better served with a hard wax filler. Of course wax would only be a temporary fix.
Why not take them to a shoe cobbler and get the boot professionally repaired. I own about 6 exotic skin western boots. Every time in need a repair or a resole, I take them to a cobbler
Some people like to do things themselves when applicable. Resole is totally different beast then a small repair like this. I probably would have been little more extensive with the repair. Like lite sanding and what not.
