Leather CreasingUpdated a month ago

Leather is a natural material, and its behavior can sometimes be unpredictable. Leather boots crease because your foot flexes when walking, and the leather bends.


Tongue 

  • Folding the tongue inward can help shape the leather more evenly. However, it's natural for creases on each boot to lack symmetry.

Side of Vamp 

  • The side of the boot bends as your foot moves, particularly at the ball and toes, which can lead to asymmetrical creasing. If you have safety toe boots, this area may show creases in specific spots due to reduced flexibility.

Top of Vamp 

  • Creases here can vary in appearance based on the boot's design and your walking style. They may be more prominent near the top of the boot or closer to the toes.

Side Uppers

  • This area, near the ankle, experiences regular bending during movement and wear, making it a common spot for creasing.

These natural creasing patterns contribute to the unique character of your boots and reflect how they adapt with age and wear.
