Hi All,
I recently bought a pair of $350 boots which have been worn 8 times so far. During this time of wear, I noticed that the boots are getting torn up in the toe area (the leather at the tip of the toe is becoming damaged from scuffing). I attempted to try to polish it out which makes them look alright for now, but any further wear will just damage them further and eventually permanently. I have included a few pictures of the boots in their condition at the moment - see pictures below.
Does anyone have any links to a website where I can purchase (toe taps? -is that what I need?) . The ones I have seen are some sort of plastic tap that nail into the sole near the upper toe area. The shoe repair shop is nearly 45 minutes from me and would hate to drive down for something that takes only minutes to add to a pair of boots by being able to order the taps from online.
Secondly, can someone analyze or tell me what I must be doing to do this scuffing? (am I not picking up my foot far enough?) How can I change my walk in the boots so I don't scuff the toe area like I have been doing?
Thanks
