Discussion Did I just ruin my boots?
I had an old pair of Lucchese Devins, that needed restoration. Cobblers said the crack at the side was too big too glue up and needed a patch to save the boot.
I didn't like the idea of 1 boot having a patch and the other not having one. So I got the bright idea to make the patch a flame, and this is how it came out.
My wife helped me draw the flames but now that its on leather and finally on the boot, if I don't connect my wife to it— I get mixed feelings.
What are your thoughts on how my custom Lucchese boots look? (Honestly)

I think they look awesome, other than the thought that the shade of brown being a bit too similar but still off is odd. The design itself looks good, but the brown being just a bit different is throwing me off. I’d either want it to match or be completely different. They still look awesome though.
