I bought my first pair of leather chelseas and the right boot has a lot more creases than the left one.
I bought my first pair of leather chelseas and the right boot has a lot more creases than the left one. Its only noticeable when I bend my foot. Is this creasing acceptable?
not sure but the leather looks quite cheap to be fair.
they were 180 dollars, im not sure about how much is cheap and how much expensive
>180 dollars
For this shit? You got hecked, it’s worth around 20. It’s the kind of shoes they sell at Walmart.
What brand are they?
They honestly look like the kind of cheap PU Leather shit you find for 50 bucks at fast fashion places
I didnt convert the price right. They are 80 dollars from scotch and soda. Ive got a bunch of shit from them because I like the brand. Its zoomer shit but without being too stupid
The only stupid here is you. That plastic coating will never look normal again. Have fun with your shitty boots. Poorfags pay twice as much in the long run.
>That plastic coating
Dude you are either blind or stupid.
Not that anon, but the way those shoes crease is pretty indicative of PU.
>the way those shoes crease is pretty indicative of PU
Absolutely opposite. The leather is bad, but not the docs or sols shit pu tier.
It’s PU-coated shit leather. That’s why it creases so terribly. It’s common in shit-tier shoes.
The pu coating is obviously thin.
Therefore it creases like real leather of bad quality, with loose grain etc.
The docs pu covered shit creases very differently and always the same way.
And you are definitely stupid.
>actually defends docs
>not enough PU coating
>calls anyone a stupid
Dude you are beyond stupid,
don’t overdose on the copium anon
I would say that anything sub 200 dollars is cheap and anything past 500 is starting to be expensive.I would look for a pair of hand made english boots for around 350 and they will last forever basically.
Affordable is not the same as cheap. If you a plastic designer bag for $2,000, your bought something that was expensive but cheap.
>180 for that leather
whoops
Use a shoe tree sir
>they were 180 dollars
likely fake or "genuine" fibreboard leather
get Thursday scouts, or Clark Chukkas if on a budget. Never get products based on solely based on advertising, they probably sourced them from China
>thursday
>get Thursday scouts
>Thursday scouts
is clark’s a good company? i see that there are a lot of clark’s products available where i live, but theyre even cheaper than pic related.
Clark’s start coming apart at the soles easily. There’s a lot of complaints online and a lot of their used boots for sale that show this issue. I wouldn’t buy them.
looks like atrocious quality, did you pay 20 bucks for them?
That looks like super cheap shoes, they will age like dirt.
But yes, every leather shoe will crease, there’s no avoiding it.
How good those creases and folds look and where they start appearing depends on how the shoe is constructed, what materials it’s made from, how it fits your foot, how you walk, etc.
Material and construction makes a tremendous difference, it’s one of the main reasons you really should not buy cheap leather shoes.
Pic related is a random pair of used Shell Cordovan Chelseas I picked from google for contrast, as you can see the leather even with it throwing folds and creasing looks really nice, a lot of people would even say it adds a lot to the shoe, and not like it’s about to crack as is the case with your pair.
This shoe doesn’t look like it came off of the worst batches of leather on the most diseased cows in the world. It has 0 relation to OPs plastic toy boots.
>It has 0 relation to OPs plastic toy boots.
Exactly what I said and exactly why I posted it.
You get what you pay for and all that.
>Made from genuine leather (inspired foam material) .
Also to actually answer your question, your right foot is either shaped very differently from your left one, very common and nothing to worry about, or the way you walk places stress differently on the right foot than the left one.
Whether that creasing is acceptable or not really depends on you yourself. Personally I think it looks like shit but I would have never bought those shoes to begin with.
my right foot slides sooo much harder into them. the thing is they feel comfortable so idk
You bought a boot made out of cheap cardboard leather with a plastic coating. Serves you right for buying gaygy Chelsea boots.
>leather with a plastic coating
Nah. It is not that bad. Otherwise they would be similar.
Poor quality leather.
Use mink oil on both regularly. And they will be more or less fine.
Post tits op. Redeem yourself.
Buy some real quality boots like these
Oh gotem anon
Also it looks like your feet do not fill the toe. Try using an extra insole. Get the cheapest one to check if it works.
Maybe a half insole, for the front only.
it’s either your potato camera or you just bought a 30$ pu leather shoe
Your feet are different sizes, it’s normal to have the creases different. Real leather does not crease like that. Your shoes will develop holes at the ends of the crease as the plastic is bent again and again, causing the top layer to peel. $80 would be too much for me to spend on plastic shoes, but each to his own.
He converted the price wrong. They actually were $80, which is about what I’d expect for something like that tbh
god I hate alien shaped shoes.
Is this acceptable for 3yrs
Definitely, get some shoe trees and some renovatuer and they’ll look near new.
Docs are not shoes. Therefore yes.
its trash leather delaminating from flexing. there’s no fixing it other than buying quality boots
>not wearing black pointy cowboy boots
those are hecking terrific. are they a decent brand or just new and not worn?
I would cop a brand or leather quality that could be kept for a long time
buy full grain leathers from reputable tanneries like Seidel and they won’t crease like OP
You bought a pair of plastic sandals
