Yeah, still back to my first thought, which is to send to RBW and ask
if that looks like a run issue or if they want to have you return.
But, it does look like the edge of the casing poking through.

I'd answer no it's not normal. And, no mine don't do that. If I had just
bought them from Rivendell, I'd return them. If I had just acquired them

that was not possible or convenient, I'd probably ride them. If I was

I like sandals on moderate or fairly flat rides with my dual surface

with monster climbs- out of saddle -without my SPD shoes and quality
insoles. I have injured my feet in the past by attempting it.
My LL. Bean Explorer sandals also work great for warm weather riding.

Funny post. Bosco bars that I can relate to! And a 1,700 word
letter-in-criticism of Just Ride. Some people just have too much free
time. Back when I worked for a business ethics organization in WDC,
