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?

Thank you Tom for clearing that out.
Here's another picture:

That's a better picture to explain what you mean. Hmmm, Have to see how they are laced mate

I can take another pic laced but now I have to run to post office to make a delivery to Lloydy
Payed £70+postage £25. I think some compensation would be in place here.

Yeah that shouldnt really have passed quality control huh! Are they definitely legit? Who's the seller?

[ez-1]

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.
