They were still 100% handmade handwelted shoes...
And his bespoke still costs much less than any of the British makers...
A few minor fudges don't personally bother me, especially when they will never be noticed by anyone...and those marks were more than likely to develop overtime anyway from wear.
I think part of the beauty of Riccardo's shoes are the shapes of his lasts...at least for me this is what attracted me to his work in the first place...
...after that came the creative flare that he adds to his shoes with the uses of exotics...the coloring...and the finishing with layers of polish to give the shoes extra character.
