I bought a pair of JL Tilbury at the JL factory shop in December. I've worn them about five times. The other day I noticed the outer sole is starting to peel back at the top of the shoe. I had this happen to a pair of Grenson Masterpieces once, and it used to drive me crazy.
Is this normal for this type of sole, where the stitching isn't evident on the outer sole (don't know the technical term)? The shoes are factory rejects btw. Any JL experts have any ideas?
Here are images of the shoes below. The right one is worse than the left.
