See the top where the cloth ends and it's kind of left unfinished?  Both sneakers were the same but it's kind of a thing that bothers me.  I'm afraid it might unravel after some wear.  Yes, I know I can return them but I'm so tired of having to return things.  I realize i might be picky but ... well that's how I am about my shoes.

@rms1954   To my eye, it looks as if it was stitched all the way, and then the portion that you point out was snipped. 

 so you would have to break through the stitched part for it to start raveling. 

  If this were me, i have lots of shoes, and don't wear any of them on a daily basis.  so no, it would not bother me at all. 

  i always look at the overall appearance of things. i personally don't have the nit-picky eye.

Thank you.  They are a very comfortable sneaker.  And I really do love them.  I might just keep them.

I see nothing that would cause me concern.

I probably should have mentioned that these are A456063 Camper sneakers.  Just so you all know what I was referring to.

The "fraying" can't go anything but more pronounced.  I would return before the window closes.

@rms1954 You could hit those spots with a dab of clear nail polish or super glue & tap the frays down smooth?

I would return them. I'd question the quality if they can't even match and seal a seam.
