The issue seems to be related to the glue (just an educated guess on my part) that was used in the application of the sole. I have my wet weather boots back from re-soling and the orange stuff started showing up as soon as I wore them for a few hours. It was removed with boot polish and in a few days the residue stopped appearing.
If you're refering to an almost "basketball-like" nubby texture, my boots were the same.
Very, very bumpy texture (grain?) on the leather.
As soon as I got my initial issue, (2 pair), I polished both pairs at least once a day, (whether they were worn that day or not).
By the end of BMQ/SQ (2 months), both pairs had a nice, smooth, even texture.
Some "nubbiness" remains waaaay up high on the boots, but I'm not in a twist about it.
