"They are made for the shoes to have a crinkle effect in the leather once they are worn. Some people don't like this and some people don't mind it. Some of these shoes are so crinkled that we do not want to sell them as BRAND NEW. We have attached some photos so please make sure you scroll through all of them to see what we mean. Some shoes are less crinkled than others and we only have a few pairs left, so get in quick and GRAB A BARGAIN!!!"
