I got tons of decent dress shoes, but I needed some dress/rubber to drive maintaining my usual look.

Cream is not good at hiding creases and scuff marks. You are better off using Colored Shoe Wax.

I first thought my Black Chelsae was indestructible since it had no crease that I can tell. Then I stripped the wax to put on cream and noticed the creases then.

It's not really a dressy pair. Just look at the heel and sole! It's a hybrid.

Should I ask the warranty to Paul Smith?


Dude, you didn't ruin them. That is the way they are supposed to look.
