I recently purchased my first pair of Allen Edmonds and had some questions about them, as something struck me as a bit odd when I received them.
I went to the store to try them on and could return to take a look at what I did try on, but figured this would be a good place to start.
Long story, they didn't have the size or color I wanted so I ordered from the states. (I'm in Canada)
Honestly, they don't seem like new shoes, there are some scuffs, the leather looks wrinkled and the leather is extremely soft. I typically buy cheap shoes, so maybe these are all things that part of something that is made a bit better, but it seems strange.
Scuffs here and there are fine I guess, I'll wear them once and probably end up doing the same amount of wear, but the really soft leather that is kind of wrinkled seems a bit odd to get out of the box.
Is this normal? Did I get some used shoes or duds?

Any advice is appreciated.
