For what it's worth, they're not meant to be sleek.

I saw those last night. I was concerned because something looks funny about the leather. Not to burst your bubble, and it could be the lighting in the pictures. Just make sure you inspect them, and determine if the leather is dried out. Shell is pretty tough to revive once the leather dries out. Dry shell can crack easily, too.

I noticed that too. The vamp on the left shoe looked much lighter and the leather around the stiching is considerably darker in some areas. I want to say these were floor displays given the kind of wear I saw. I emailed the seller and when he responded, his signature included a '@poloralphlauren.com' email address. Maybe he is a store employee who bought up the display?

Sounds like it. They should be fairly easily to polish & match, if they don't match. Just make sure you confirm that the leather is not dried out.
