Hi there, we are thrilled to hear that you are happy with your recent purchase of the Zephyr in All Black Mono boots. We take pride in creating comfortable and timeless footwear that our customers can enjoy all day long. We apologize for any imperfections you may have noticed on your boots. We assure you that our products are crafted with the highest quality materials and genuine cowhide leather which has natural marks and wrinkles from the hide, making them perfectly imperfect. These Zephyr wrap-around leather boots can indeed be scratched a bit more easily than usual if they are bumped onto certain surfaces, but it's only because we use super soft leather for these boots, which goes into the superb comfort of wearing them. And we are glad that they kept you comfortable indeed! We are grateful for your understanding and appreciation of the handcrafted process that goes into making our products. Thank you for choosing our brand and we look forward to being a part of your journey with these shoes!
