Has anyone got pics of the new olive cxl boots? Anyone own them?

There are some on the subreddit

Out in the Saddle Tan Diesel boots today

Love the colours on these but I must say they still don’t feel broken in after 30+ wear.

Mine have been pretty great - have you tried hitting them with some Saphir Renovateur? Wondering if the mink oil will soften them up a bit...

The GS calf leather is shockingly unforgiving. I had to sell my calf items that I bet would have been OK fit wise if it was CXL. Looks great, though.

Thanks. I think that might be a good idea. I’ve been hesitant to apply any product on these out of fear of darkening them (really love the colour), but maybe it’s time…

Bick 4 is a non-oil-based, non-darkening conditioner, and might work. Maybe that's a better start. But for me, I can't recall a pair where Reno has permanently darkened them, at least a leather finished like the English Tan (?) Edwards.
