I live in Peru, buy a new boots LOWA, Banff, to use them in Peru, Cordillera Blnca. To the first use, in a simply trail without dificult or rougly terrrain, my foot scrimmage a rock and the leather nubuk it broken. Expect, for many years to be able to buy a LOWA boots, and when I used it broken with a hole was done in front of leather nubuk. Now I ask me, I should change them for another LOWA equal or to change them for another diferent trade mark and model but RESISTANT for rocks in a rough trail with mid a heavy load. Before I had, some boots like a Vasque and Asolo, and never happen. It is that the leather nubuk was wasted or the boot this badly manufactured. Helpme please

The damage looks like normal wear at the front of a hiking boot. Very common on any boot that hits against sharp rock. Try McNett Freesole---I use this product on the front of my boots, around the rand, and for repair of the sole. http://www.mcnett.com/Freesole-Urethane-
