Leather is a natural product - you will see variations and such (grain, color variations, etc...). I think it's fine, but if it bothers you then take them back.

If you bought that for full price at the BB store I would take it back. I believe you could polish it into a more uniformed look but if its not too much of a hassle for you why not take them back. I own a pair of BB strands seconds and they were the same colour throughout. Also, this is one of my favourite shoes in my rotation.Fac1 wrote: ↑Just picked up a pair of AE Strands at BB, but after closer inspection I'm wondering if I should return them or exchange them for a similar model without what appears to be a defect. Granted, I have a lot to learn about leather and so I am unaware if this sort of thing is normal and not warranting a trip back to BB.
There's a stripe-y sort of finish to the leather that looks like it has been stretched or something.
Notice that the left shoe appears to be normal and without the stripe-like finish of the right shoe.
What do you guys think? Return or not?

I got them for 30 pct off due to the store wide sale at BB. I am thinking they won't even have another pair in my size (13D) and I'm not looking forward to waiting for them to order another pair in.
Hmm.

I've had a hard time since I was a child finding shoes that fit me properly. I've been a size 13 since I was 12. :/
Decided to keep them. Wearing them now and enjoying them and the matching AE belt I got there.

I need a suede protector. Any good ones? Affordable please.
Edit, just found a tana spray that protects seude and nubuck. Will this be good enough?
Double edit - I used the spray, seems fine
