Nope. Blue box as usual. Does that mean some sort of quality control line then?
Anyways the shell is not straight and that's what bugging me.

2 QC just means it was checked by the Quality Controller number 2 I think. If they're 2nds they'll be labelled b-grades / different box / hole in tongue.
Is it as noticeable when laced?

Otherwise they seem ok and legit (different serials, no clit etc). Seller has almost 600 positive feedback (100%).

Fuckin' hell!
I have a similar flaw with my white/grey vins. The shell isn't nearly as much crooked as those, only barely noticeable when looked at like that. I'm usually a perfectionist in these things but mine were dirt cheap so I haven't been too bothered about the flawed shell.
The quality controller must have been blind to let those pass.

That is some odd shit right there.
Looks like the production line person picked up the wrong size toe and made it fit.
First thought he'd just cut the rubber wrong but it's well spastic.

Just agreed with seller for £30 refund. I think that's quite OK. Shoes are not perfect but I think I'll manage.

Do the eyelets line up? The first set look a bit out of line in that picture...on the wonky shell shoe.

I think all the eyelets on the left side of the left shoe are equally out of line just as much as the shell is in a wrong position.
