What would you use to take scuffs out of and develop character in something like these.

I got Brickmore leather conditioner, but it only looks good for a little bit.

I don’t mind scuffing, but these look “distinguished,” whereas my hiking boots just look like they’ve been through some shit.

Depends how deep the scuffs are. You might have to sand it slightly and redye them.

But hiking boots aren't ment to look pretty.

What boots ARE long lasting and meant to build character?

I walk 4 or 5 miles a day, and I got these when I became frustrated buying new shoes a few times a year.

Any that are resoleable. I don't know of too many brands that offer it, but Lundhags, Zamberlan (my brand of choice), Lowa, Hanwag and Altberg all make boots specifically designed to be resoled.

Now all of those brands are European, but I'm sure there are some American brands out there as well.
