Yesterday, I put on a pair of cordovan leather Chukka boots and spotted a 3" scratch. I was late to work but my OCD wouldn't let me out the door without trying to fix it. When I went to the closet I keep the shoe polish in sitting on the shelf was a "Tibetan Almond Stick" used for covering scratches on wood furniture. Why not? I rubbed it into the wound and buffed with a cloth-scratch invisible-worked great!! Will keep trying this as the need arises.

That is interesting. I wonder if the stick might cause the pores of the leather to close. What i understand is that cordovan leather has to breathe. I have often read that the back of a spoon, or the deer bone technique helps with scratches. You basically smooth out the leather. Again, there are many rules about the type of cream/wax you can use on the cordovan leather.
I am expecting my first pair next week, and have been doing my usual online learning for the last few weeks.
