These are new Meermin oxfords (oak antique calf). The color is flaking off right on the borders of the stitching.
After 5 minutes of wearing inside the house, the color started to come off. I'm assuming it's because of friction or flexing in those areas. I suspect if I rub or scratch the leather in other parts, the dye will come off there too, but I haven't tried it.
And this is a replacement pair! When it happened with the first pair, Meermin immediately offered to replace them.
This time, Meermin says it is NOT a defect.
Have you ever seen this problem with Meermin or other brands? Are black shoes less likely to have this problem?
