Fudging is nice. But it doesn't mean that the stitches match up is the point I am making. They fudge after stitching the outsole. Getting that look is not almost impossible.Not saying the optics weren't poor, but the shoes looked good to me.
The leather felt and looked nice.
The fudging was a nice touch. It's a mark of quality that can be attributed to aol. They might be **** otherwise, but the detail was excellent.
The finishing to me also looked good. Perhaps you disagree. That's fine, what precisely did you find objectionable? The stitching was nice. The fudging was superb. The welt was 270. The sole was closed channelled.
I pointed out the concern with the captoes. To me that's not a deal breaker; it became so when it was worn outside and I walked about half a mile around town in them.
Look, I admit: I was fooled. Whatcha want from me here besides that admission?
The waist as you brought up is not very slim. Little to no handwork there. Sole wasn't painted consistently. Looks like they stained it in a hurry.
The cap on the left (and the stitching) doesn't look straight.
The lining edge is exposed and looks rough.
Not sure how your EGs are but everything I've seen indicates more care and attention. Not perfect but definitely better finished holistically.
