That's where conditioning your leather comes into place. If it's moisturised and soft, it wont tear.. If the leather is dry, it becomes very hard and cracking will appear.

actually it suddenly reminds me of my saf boots. Never torn also, after all the sweat, abuse and sun. Only maintenance is kiwi and brush.
Same technically its the same for RW boots???

Can try people's park, the one opposite lucky chinatown. The 2nd floor has quite a number of shoe shops
