First Tecovas - Scuffs?
These are my first pair of Tecovas, The Cartwright, (and boots in general) so I wanted to check if this kind of condition is normal or if I should contact customer service. Based on some reading, it seems that the stitching is a common enough issue and I don’t mind burning off frayed stitches. But it looks like these came scuffed from the factory. I know the Scotch Goat is supposed to show wear more quickly but I didn’t think they’d look almost pre worn when delivered.
Also I read there should be a “thump” when your foot settles into the boot. I barely have any resistance when I slide my foot in and definitely no “thump”. Should I consider a half size down?
Thanks all!
Edit: I appreciate the tips, I ordered half a size down just to compare. I’m looking forward to breaking them in and making them my own.
