I recently purchased some nice black Oxford Captoes which just arrived today and after having tried them on, I used a shoehorn, and wearing them around the house for a little bit they just developed a crease!
Now I did notice something else while wearing them, my toe is an inch to an inch and a half away from the toe cap. I am a size 42 EU / 8 UK width F / 9 US width D.
Is this a sign of leather quality or is this natural? Even my shoe trees are an inch away from the toe cap. I attached an image with red boxes indicating the creases. Now this shoe is from TLB Artista and the leather is from Annonay and Charles F. Stead.
