Am I being unreasonable to be precious about these boots?

[shutupanddrivee]

Bought my first ever pair of Dr Martens (in the sale) and they’ve arrived with creases in the leather - maybe from being tried on by someone else?

My partner says it doesn’t matter as I’ll crease them anyway when wearing them. I just feel a bit disappointed

Honestly no it really wouldn't bother me at all. As soon as you wear them they will develop creases.

Wouldn’t bother me at all

They look to me like they’ve been worn a little, or tried on a bit too vigorously and then returned, I’d send them back and order a fresh pair. If the new pair looks the same then it’s up to you if you like them enough to overlook it.

I’d send these back . I understand why you are disappointed

Maybe slightly disappointing but not worth the faff of sending them back. They will have tonnes more creases when you start wearing them

I bought a pair off vinted and they looked newer than them.

They've been worn.

I probably wouldn't bother sending them back but I'd be so pissed off and totally get you feeling disappointed 😞.

They've been worn before but I wouldn't see that as a bad thing, just someone else helping with breaking them in. But if it's bothering you, send them back.

Mate that's shit I'm sorry. It's not good enough to spend that much and get someone else's cast offs.

I’d send them back as your feet may crease them differently to the previous wearer’s.

I may be inclined to email the pictures and say you're a bit disappointed as it's your first pair and they're not cheap - but alas it's just what shoes do I'm afraid after a few wears

If you are not happy send them back , doc martens are poor quality now a days anyway just overpriced fashion shoes .

I’ve heard DMs are notoriously difficult to break in, so I’d view it more as someone doing you a favour.

I’d be miffed as well.

Id ask for a deduction, same as if you bought the display pair in a shop

What are the soles like?

If you are not happy, send them back it’s your choice. I wouldn’t if it was me. CBA with the hassle if I liked the boots as they will crease when you wear them anyway.

The traditional ones are, i don’t have those ones

I can't imagine being bothered by this.
