Weird/abnormal creasing on shoe (fixable?)

Hi,

I recently bought a pair of lightly used Allen Edmonds Byrons off SF from a very nice seller.

The shoes are great and in great condition, however, there is an abnormal creasing pattern on the left shoe which causes the leather to dig into the my foot when the shoe is flexed. This is only mildly uncomfortable, and I could probably live with it.

Of course, I want to know if there is any way to fix this, and adjust the creasing of the leather back to normal.

I have attached pictures of the shoe to illustrate the problem.

Left (abnormal):
700


Right (normal):
700


Thanks!

I doubt it. That's a danger of used shoes. That crease developed to fit a different foot. The leather will now always crease on the established path of least resistance (digging into your foot).
