If these imperfections would have been on an AE, reactions would have been far different
Stick some polish on that area and see if it can be improved, otherswise I would ignore it, no one will ever see it
I find it weird that people will pay a premium for things made by hand, and then complain when the handmade items have the types of inconsistencies and imperfections that are.... generally found on things made by hand

^+1 I have often said or implied that among all manufactured shoes there is very little difference between brands (from high to low) with regard to fundamental techniques and/or even materials. So what are you paying the "big bucks" for...aside from brand cachet, I mean? In such cases, I think it is the elegance of the design, the refinement and the meticulousness of the workmanship, the overall cleanliness and excellence of the finish. "Presentation is everything." And it is a big part of that price. I am of the opinion that such "slippages" and such oversights are all part of a natural and inevitable progression in the manufacturing sector from quality to quantity. To the extent that people throw up their hands and "accept" ...do not at least bring it to the attention of the maker...they only hasten that progression and devalue the price they paid. Just a thought...
A 5 months wait and then being disappointed like this....... Not a really good recipe for creating a repeat customer.
All to be expected in my experience. I had about a dozen pair of MTO and have given more than half away. The soles split and need regular trimming, something I have never had on any other shoes. The edges have blade marks. The sides of my boots were cut sloppily so there are ripples. They use shoe laces on boots. And on and on with small issues I never had with EG for the same money
