Is this normal/acceptable (To Boot NY shoes)

[wearit]

Hello all. I just received my To Boot NY Medallion Capote shoes. Love them looks wise and the way they feel. Was going to go with AE Strands but too much brogueing for me. I found them on sale on Amazon for 175. I did notice two things and don't know if they are major issues. There are none left so I would have to pay full price elsewhere if I return them.

1) I noticed that the front left sole sticks out a bit more than the right. I attached pics but kinda hard to tell.

2) Also noticed the left tag (To Boot NY) on the insole is sewed on a bit crooked compared to the right.

Maybe a QC issue. Happens to alot of shoe makers.

The welt gets trimmed by a person, not stamped out by a machine. Maybe it was a Friday. It doesn't affect anything in terms of how the shoe wears. It could be adjusted, but why bother? It won't affect anything.

The misaligned tag is some of that small stuff you're not supposed to sweat.

You won't find perfection in footwear over $100.

That's the downside of online ordering...
