Hey all, very long time lurker here.
Going by a lot of your recommendations, I recently bought a new pair of Loake 1880.
These shoes are my first 'real' pair of shoes - they are by far the most expensive shoes I own.

Anyway, I take these shoes home after trying them on at the store, and straight away notice this scuff on the left shoe.
I'm not sure if this is a 'normal' defect and I'm just being pedantic. It's only really noticeable when you look at the shoe up close but is it unreasonable for me to expect no defect from a shoe this expensive - especially since the mark is quite long and straight.

What do you guys think? Do I go back instore and ask for return/exchange? Or am I being unreasonable here?

It is just typical polish matter don't ovethink. Does not look like a cut on the leather.
