      Sea Glow works well for yellowing oxidation n stains. You can get it for $7-8 on eBay.

        pardon the crappy phone pic but i just tore a gash down the back of my worn 4 times ma+ ankle boots and i'm pretty pissed. it is just a scar in the wooden heel. about 7/8 inch long and not too deep but enough to infuriate me. can this be repaired?

          I guess you could try replacing the patina by putting some sort of oil on it, it will make the wood darker.

            Good idea.
            I don't think it is that bad. That's what shoes and especially boots are for. If you take it to a cobbler to get it sanded out it will be even worse. Just try to make it less visible if you can't live with it.

              in all seriousness, I'd try a brown pencil

                It seems like a wooden heel is going to get scuffed/scratched. How long do you really think a fix is going to last?

                    cjbreed: i think you can just get a wood filler to patch it up. should be able to buy them at hardware stores or smth.

                      Or you can just keep wearing them for a couple days and the surrounding areas should end up looking about the same.

                        All my boots suffer the beaten heal syndrome and I don't really care,
                        CJ its not that serous, boots are nicer after they've had a few scratches and gain some character.

                            I know it might be a bit mainstream for most of you but I'm just looking to buy some bucks for the spring and was wondering if anyone had feedback on buying from www.dsw.com

                            hate to sound paranoid, but always prefer to ask before giving my online commerce to just any site out there

                              Is there a date for the Antwerp stock sales already? I am pretty sure there is but seem to be too stupid to find it.

                                It's usually around the same time every year. They tend to announce it pretty close to the actual dates if I remember correctly.
