My first pair of Santoni GYs in navy blue.
I love the color and patina but there is slight bowing around the ankles. Do you think this would go away as they break in or it’s a fit issue?

It's a fit issue where your foot is wider than the last is designed to fit. I have the same same issue with my right foot on a pair of shoes that are too narrow. The issue should not be pronounced once the leather is stretched more, but the bow will still remain.
