Cus apart from this I cant see anything wrong with em.

Yeah that exactly. It's a small fault, but it's a fault, and next to one that looks correct it's noticable to me at least. I saw it the minute I took them out the box. Maybe I'm fussy but ...meh... I pay for something I expect it to be right ya know? *shrugs*

Shouldn't have passed quality control IMO. Still as mr.pure mentioned above, things happen.

Its not really a fault, but they will prbably give you an exchange and sell them onto someone less picky

Do ya not think? I dunno I'd class it as one. It doesn't sit flush as per the rest of the shoe, or the other shoe ,or any pics I've seen online. So much like if the bonnet wasn't level on a car, or a button was loose or wonky on a TV or similar, I'd call it a fault. OK they were only £65 but for that I expect them to look like the picture on the site.

I'm hoping you're right on the exchange. I don't mind being picky tbh. If you ain't you can end up gettin palmed off with sub-standard stuff (in my opinion).

If you zoom in the standing heel up pic at size, the right side of the shell seems to have a similar poking out "fault" on it. Such minor faults are actually rather common, seen them a few times even with much more expensive supes.

Most kicks appear to be pretty perfect but every now and then some minor issues go through the quality control unnoticed. For example sometimes the shell's been cut a bit too much and there's actually a little gap between the leather and the shell which screams out loud much more than little excess shell material poking out.

Yeah I see it. Way less noticable imho. I dunno man, maybe i'll get another pair that aint perfect either, but I'm gonna give it a go. I am admittedly a fussy fucker with certain things. But I reckon you gotta be sometimes.

No point settling for something that bugs you.

Of course. I'd probably do the same if i'd be annoyed by such detail.

if you aint happy you need to swap em up, had the same thing with a pair of skates a while back... loved em, but that crease was really bugging me, makes you go off em... either exchange em or have some counciling for ya OCD.. i went for the first option ...lol

Well finally received the replacements from Size? .... similar prob on the left shoe this time but wayyy less noticable, as this would appear to be something likely to be something that just happens with this particular model so I'm gonna keep what I got. I'm happy it's small enough it wont bug me this time.

Need some fat laces though. Size said they'll refund my postage costs for return too. Good stuff.
