I picked up a pair of AE Walden's in Burgundy off of Ebay. They were described as "like new" and "worn once". Soles/insoles etc are all in great shape. The color of the shoes if horrible. It looks like somebody tried to die or antique these themselves. I can see at least 4 different colors of die/polish on the shoe. I can clearly see black, dark brown, tan/light brown, and the original burgundy. In spots I can see brush marks, and there is even tan/light brown smeared along the edge of the sole in spots.
So, is this a huge screwup at the factory, or do you think somebody tried a home antiquing project and fubar'd it? Do you think it could be fixed?
I've already emailed the seller and am waiting to here back.
