This mean place here, combined with the little fairy that insisted that dad goes with her:
Resulted in some very visible marks on my new White's. I know things like these are unavoidable in the long run, but since the boots are only a few weeks old it hurts (like the first scratches in a HH jacket).
Any ideas on how to make the marks a little less visible?

Wow! Those are lovely boots!
They look nice when worn in a bit, but as with my jump boots, that light brown/russet does mark easily.
I've found that for light marks (if you don't want to use polish), a non-scented moisturizer such as the other half might use on her face, can work wonders if used sparingly. It seems to help the treated area go back to one colour, darkening the scuffed areas but not noticeably darkening the colour of the rest, like a leather oil might. And the nice bit is that a decent face moisturizer will leave it in a matte finish, rather than shiny. Try a pea-sized amount rubbed in to the toe caps - you might be surprised by the result. A small bit of Lanolin should work the same.
