I'm pretty sure you can exchange at a store. I'd say check out other pairs to find one acceptable to you but I doubt you'd find one without some glue stain at the seams. I saw four different pairs before finding one I liked but it still had some light stains.[/IMG]
Nothing like that on my pair. I had to break in the shoes a little to feel comfortable in the toes because it felt stiff and it still does. I guess that's the trade-off.
Would you guys consider these defects exchange worthy or would most pairs be like this even if I exchange it? The right tongue is shorter than the other. It also doesn't align with the black trim on the sides. Bottom pic is left pair which aligns nicely.
Thanks for the comparison. I wasn't planning on getting this but I've come around after seeing it in stores.
Anyone know if Shiekh 25% off will work on these?
