That's perfect fella.
Yeah, I know where you're coming from but you'll end up turning plenty of pairs away if you're gonna be like that cos this shit, it happens.
Not often, but it does happen.
I'd have a go at teasing some slack out of the shell stitching and trying to wiggle it into place, if you're really that bothered.

I'll see if they are willing to exchange at no cost first. If i start pissing about my ham fisted attempts at shoe doctoring will probably make matters worse!! .... I'm not the gentlest.

Yeah, you'd need to be quite careful.
With clean hands you might be able to force it into the right place without loosening the stitching first.
Might be worth a try.

I had a gentle (as I can) poke about but without damaging it there's no way. I'd have to cut off the surplus bit... .and sod that for a game of soldiers.
Ah well, over to size. Hopefully it wont be an issue, cos apart from the minor fault I really like them.

Its not really a fault, but they will prbably give you an exchange and sell them onto someone less picky
If you have £5 and Chuck Norris has £5, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

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.
Doing nothing is very hard to do... you never know when you're finished.

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.
