I've seen other posts about this and have contributed to them but I have the same sort of thing again.
Searched all over the place for a pair of new black dress shoes and ruled out all sorts of things but finally decided to try out a pair of Kenneth Coles. Did the usual thing - try to dance around that very fine line where I have to wear the shoes long enough to see if they fit properly vs. having too much wear on them to return them and get a true refund. Anyway, in the third day of wearing them much of the day, mostly indoors, I find they both have that darned wrinkle on top. With another thread someone suggested being too large is a cause of this, and that indeed is possible with a pair of Johnston Murphys I got some months back, but they're very comfortable anyway. In this case I'm convinced the shoes are nottoo large, as their 8.5 size is really the lowest I'd possibly consider and they do not flop in the back the
way some too-large shoes do, etc.
Anyway, it's too late to return these shoes, but the wrinkle in one shoes is starting to irritate my toe area. In the past I've done different things with band-aids as a temporary measure, etc., but right now I'm just wondering if anyone has a trick to remove wrinkles in leather. These Kenneth Coles are a rather stiff type - not the soft, malleable type of leather some shoes come in. Thanks.
