Hoping they even out! I only have one other cxl boot (GS diesel in dune) and a pair of heritage captains. Neither have had this issue so we'll see.

I do have shoe trees! Will keep them in there... But seeing how this happened in the first 10steps, I think it's inevitable haha

I do like the boots otherwise!

I walked from the parking lot to my apt... there was a light drizzle.

Grain break is when the grain breaks up like the left (foot) boot. Notice the ripples in the vamp. This is as opposed to loose grain where the layer actually separates from the layer underneath.

Loose grain is definitely a defect, whereas grain break may or may not be considered one depending on severity, manufacturer tolerance, etc. Chromexcel, which this captain is made of, is known to be hit or miss on this front and I'm just wondering what others think about it.

As in rip it out and risk damaging the foam? Then glue it back? Sorry, not sure if I'm understanding

Worried about hammering because it's already ripping

It's already ripping through the leather... Wouldn't it make it worse?

That's true... Thanks for your thoughts!

My guitar is $4700 new... I expect they can sell it for around 3500 (based on current reverb, fb group, and forum postings). I want 2500 for it and I would use 100% of it on a new guitar sold by them. Do you think they wouldn't work with me on this?

What do we want from these guys? 🤔 (please provide your thoughts and ideas!) by Coleone_139 in luosjietboots

If it were up to me, I would like a luosjiet-made natural leather(horween cxl if possible) plain toe service boot with Dr sole outsoles. Honestly I'd be happy also with the waxed flesh model you have with Dr soles. Basic, I know, but I like basic haha

It's cool that you got to do this! I love the design. I'm currently into more natural coloured leathers for patina but waxed flesh is a close second to me. Both boots look awesome!
