My Loake Burford boots just arrived from Pediwear after over one month waiting.
When I examined them, I noticed that the holes for the laces are not parallel.
I never noticed this on other shoes, but then this is my first pair of Loake's, I never had country boots like these and I am not a shoe expert.

My questions for you:
Is this normal?
Is this a serious flaw or is it a variation in quality, maybe typical for Loake shoes?
Would you recommend me sending them back?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

possibly how they were made. both shoes are like a mirror image of one another so i think they were made that way purposely
