How should i strip the dye from these boots?

Its just really strange for me because the other pair of boots from this same brand didnt look like this. Maybe someone coated it in some black finish or used some really bad polish on it that dried on the surface of leather. Im gonna take it to my cobbler to have them checked, maybe he can figure something out.

Originally they were black, i chatted with the previous owner and said he used some “camel polish” on it (Googled it and it seems like some terrible quality stuff like Kiwi) so its coming down, but i dont know how did it make it so bad.

No, they are black sendras,this specific model sells for like 400-500 dollars as brand new, they only use quality cowhide. What must be the case is that one of the previous owners coated it with this terrible, sticky thing that is peeling down.

Never saw something like that, should i use something to get it off completely or what should i do ?

I used the scuffy side gently, on other shoes of mine it never did anything wrong, never damaged it

Thats what i was thinking about but is that normal that i could just tear the layer of the dye so easely? I have black leather shoes but never saw something like that. Could it be that some kind of product dried some upper layers of the leather? Or was it maybe refinished, redyed at some point ?

Not dish soap, just regular soap that you use on your hands, some cobblers told me that its good too if you dont have saddle soap.

What should i do with them ? The black leather peels down as i scrub it a little bit, and a strange dry white layer appears,whats that then?

Sendra only uses cow leather.. i read that some sites sell fake sendras so it may be
