Well I just checked both my pairs and one has similar issues lol.
Both soles are scratched, I don’t know what kind of paint sealer they are using, but it isn’t anything good. It seems they didn’t use any at all.
I haven’t used or displayed these shoes yet, they have been sitting in the box since I got them.

And they both have tiny scuffs at the nose. You barely notice it, but still it shouldn’t be there.
