Aesthetically it bothers the hell out of me so when I'm looking at classifieds, I immediately ignore footwear that shows this in any way. I don't think it is correctable/fixable, and if your foot is supposed to fit that shoe size correctly, it will likely not feel "right" with a crumpled cup.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

Originally posted by lowrey View Posthave you ever seen it on boots though? I personally haven't, I always assumed it happens to derbies that are put on and off without opening them, so there is a lot of stress on the heel cup every time they are put on. Additionally, I'm pretty sure the heel cup is not as strengthened on CCP derbies as it is on some other footwear. For example on Layer-0 derbies the cup is notably stiffer.
In other cases it is a bit more subtle but evidence of heel cup collapse can be seen as that obliteration of that inward curve where the leather of the upper meets the top of the sole. Still bothers me personally, but maybe not others.
Like you mentioned, I think in many cases it is less of an issue perhaps with the footwear construction per se and more about how well they are taken care of.
I still have to try out some L-0 derbys (really love the shape), and next time I'm at a shop I'll take a closer look!
Edit- found some various images via sales threads/online etc.
Especially the right heel cup (Guidis... which overall seem to be "softer" boots though)

interesting, never really noticed it on boots. of course its a bit more subtle given the shaft doesn't end like on derbies, which makes it less prone to collapsing.
I've had a little bit of this appear on a pair of guidi and CCP derbies, I no longer have either pair but I recall the heel cup didn't feel very "enforced" in either, and the leather was of course pretty soft too."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

Agree that it is less common compared to derbies as you said A. Especially for the leathers like the perforated one that Carol used years ago, it just doesn't withstand gravity and feet over time.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs
