As can be seen in the December photos, the volcanic mud I hiked through in these took all the color off the edge. I used some Allen Edmonds Chili edge dressing to bring the color back and added a coat of wax to protect it. Did a light coat of Obenbauf's on the leather. These boots are starting to come into their own and I'm loving them.
