Does it wipe away and come back after a while? It's most likely either mold or fatty spew (http://alaskawhitestuffid.wordpress....ther-and-skin/)
If you bought it from a store, return it. And if you bought it from the classifieds/ebay, file a claim. I would encourage you to not try to remove the mold yourself and just get your money back, if possible. Getting mold out of porous material is really difficult and you'll do irreparable damage to the boot in the process.
I've no experience with fatty spew but that would be far less annoying to deal with as it's just the oils in the leather crystallizing on the surface.
