i picked up a pair of rick boat shoes but the creasing on them is really weird and goes vertical as well as horizontal. is this normal? could this be due to dry holding conditions? i didnt size down like i shouldve so theyre a bit loose, could that be the cause? or have i been scammed? i dont know very much about leather, sorry.
these are bull leather so theyre not supposed to be like ramones.

modern rick owens customers, everyone
leather is dry and cracking
have you been wearing them in the rain or something?
>>12515694
no theyve just been like this, guess warehouse didnt have very good conditions or something. gunna try and search up some solutions to fixing cracking leather. thanks for the help!

i mean i know some basics but this is an anomaly from what ive seen from my cps, ramones, and other leather stuff i have. i dont mean to be ignorant to the topic, i want to learn.
uh, is this a bait thread or have you unironically bought these replicas thinking they were legit?
>>12515741
i really hope not. i have ramones i bought in store and i did a bunch of research online. every detail is perfect down to the smell of the sole just the leather creases oddly. i want to believe fakes can't be this perfect.
>>12515766
naw, j/k. they're legit - just dry. moisturize and treat them well.

alright thanks a ton! was starting to get really worried for a second. glad to find out i can do something about it.

What climate do you live in? How much wear do you give them? Can be normal, have you tried conditioning them? How tight are they? Have you had them verified by a professional? if not, you should.

i live in canada so theres a lot of climate fluctuation. i gunna condition them now and use some other products. theyre not tight at all, they're loose actually and i have not. but im gunna check out a leather shoe place i know tomorrow.
