"Bridal leather"?
Is that leather that you wear when you are getting married?

Is it me, or does the shoe look like it has "bulges" just behind the toe cap on the side?

This was my exact thought process.

Just to note that I requested further images from the seller - there are a couple of leather 'patches' sewn on to the accordion edges of the case where they have worn through, and one small unrepaired hole. The handle seems to have been repaired fairly neatly. Overall, pretty well used and abused.

Yes, the previous wearer stretched them out.

One of the reasons why I don't think they're as good a deal as others do. You can't unstretch them in that location.
