Creased Suede Shoes

[KOz]

Hi all. I've recently acquired a pre-owned pair of C&J Hardwick and I have a question - are the creases ruining the aesthetics? They're a bit less noticeable with shoe trees/feet in them, but they're still noticeable. Is this expected of apron shoes?

I can return them but I thought I'd ask for peoples opinions.

Thanks!

This is just a derivative of wear, unrelated to the presence of the apron

All leather creases. Suede is leather. The way these are creasing -- the sort of waviness -- is pretty beautiful to me. Not sure why you'd return them. Was this not visible in the photos? A new pair will look like this sooner or later anyway.

Me? I would not want those.

Shoes crease with wear. Preowned shoes will be creased if they’ve been worn. If you don’t want creases in your newly acquired shoes, buy new shoes, but recognize that they too will crease.
