Can anyone help me with this?

This is what I'm getting in the preview window.

And that's what I want, leather with a mat finish.

But when I render my scene, the boots end up like this:

Too glossy and it ends up looking like rubber or PVC.

So how can I eliminate the shine and maintain the look of leather?

Try changing the "Specular" and/or "Highlight" color to a darker tone.

Raise highlight size.

Looks like a highlight issue to me as well and I'm just a Poser Noob.  Although, could it be some sort of weird AO/Shadow problem if adjusting Highlight properties doesn't fix it?

Sigh, I tried everything and I either get too dull a texture, or shine on less of the boot. Any another sugestions?

Make sure you have no texture map in the highlight window, just colour. That might help.

There's no texture map on it att all (just bump and reflection)

Post a material-room screenshot. We have to see what you've defined in your material.

You might ...

Try making the "Specular_Color" a little darker
= or =
Try reducing the "Specular_Value" to 0.50000 or less.

...and try to lower reflection value.
By the way: This is a "faked" reflection. Insteed of the sphere-map, try a reflection node (and switch off "Reflection_Lite_Mult").

If you feel it's still to bright, lower all color-parameters in the various nodes.
