Same for me, and we are apparently the same size in Vass. Seriously, where did you get these? I must be blind for having missed this pair.

I use insoles from Hush Puppies. The tight waist on the F is really a f**ker for insole fitting.

Btw, what size are you on other lasts?

i just bought a pair of rad russells (good or bad i dunno, just felt the fit was right) and after the first day of wearing can see quite a few creases on the shoes. any way go reduce or get rid of them?

Bought a pair of Rad Russells before. The sole nearly had a hole less than a year of wearing for work (worn 3-4 times a week).
I doubt you can do anything about the creases.

Been purchasing those usual brand shoes for work like Rad russels, bose morgan, ecco, Geoxx. Most of them last only a year or less before water seepages due to split at the sides or holes on the soles. Recent pair Andre Valentino is the worst, toe part the leather like peel away leaving a grey color layer in less than 2 months.

Fed up with such shoes and have decided to spend more on better quality shoes with goodyear welting instead of keep buying shoes every year. Just ordered a pair of Herrings from its classic range on Monday, hoping to get it by next week.

I've the impression that shoe conditioner or cream can help soften the leather, and perhaps reduce creases.

If you really want the creases to go away, below is a link to some risky methods.
