Anyone have any experience with shell that has a tiny hole like this? I've had the lasting holes on the back side of the boot peeking through before, which isn't a problem, but never in this area. I have to imagine, being so small, it's a non-issue?

I’m generally pretty tolerant when it comes to Alden’s imperfections but I think I draw the line on holes in shell, especially those that are visible when wearing. IMO, these go back.

Which laces are those? I like the round laces.
Thank you!
