Hi y’all, hope this is the right place for this. I ordered La Canadienne Braydon boots on sale which usually retail for $500+. I’ve attached photos of them.
Do I need my expectations adjusted? I get that a glued sole might be necessary given the style of sole, but it seems like there are several flaws with uneven borders, gaps between the sole and the shoe (could be due to the Chelsea style, which is fine), and loose threads. I get that every shoe will have its flaws and quirks. I’m certainly not expecting perfection. I guess I wanted more from such an expensive shoe? Thanks in advance!
For context, I’ve been looking for a more professional boot that can stand up to harsher winters. I own a pair of Blundstones, which I love, but are more casual. I previously ordered a pair of Nero Giardini in a similar style to the Braydon, but same issue with quality. I’ve heard great things about La Canadienne, plus they’re waterproof.
