Oooo. This pair i have never tried though so i am vindicated. Btw, Lusso Tailors were their name before they changed it to Seamless Bespoke (about 2 years ago) so Enzo did make for the same shop. As this is from Lusso days, it is definitely an older pair which was probably why it was put on sale. Hope you got it at a good discount.
On to the creasing. I think aside from it being tried on the larger reason is the actual leather used for the construction of the shoe. Leather is funny.... and I still haven't grasped why the best and highest grades of leather (which i assume and expect that Enzo uses) can still crease in a not so flattering manner. Same holds true for other legendary makers. I suppose leather being leather (a natural material) has many factors that could cause some to be better than others. Which is why i now make it a point to buy shoes only in person now. There is too much risk in buying online and i have learnt my lesson many times from getting burnt purchasing shoes via the net, either the fit is not right or the style is just a little off etc.
For comparison and as an example, i have a new pair of Aurum Meccariello black cap toes and the vamp is creasing like crazy after just two wears, much more so than a pair of Trickers that i bought for about a quarter the price and have worn more than 100 times. My two cents is to buy from brick and mortar and see the item before committing in the future. It will save you the headache.
Below some picts of super old rainy day "beat up" Trickers captoes vs my brand new captoe Meccariellos for reference.
