I'm really annoyed, my black Bekkets just don't seem to have the same quality of my beige ones. The insole on the right shoe of my black ones arrived with a tear at the side of the insole and generally feels a little strange on foot. The left side is fine though. It's the second time I've ordered them so I CBA to ask for an alternative and just wore them. But it irks me that for a pair of nearly £400 sneakers the quality isn't on point.

So sorry for you, I was ready to buy a new pair of Bekket but after what happened to my Betty I'm so torn. And your post confirmed my worries...

Yeah I'm just a bit disappointed but I've kept them anyway. Weirdly my beige just look better for some reason. Definitely going to reconsider buying any more Bekkets now.

I also noticed some quality differences when I tried on some Beketts this fall, they just didn't feel as nice as the ones I had. I think the quality is OK, the leather, sole, fit are great but it seems like they don't check the shoes that well after production..? My gris beketts have this one piece of cream leather that's discoloured (it's turned a little yellow) while the other parts on the same shoe are still pretty white and all the same colour, while I've treated the entire shoe the same way. My bobby's also have a little torn suede part. My shoe guy told me the discolouring is probably because they used different leather, or treated it differently and the torn suede because that's a weak part in the suede that they shouldn't have used.

I love my sneakers for the model, the materials feel good and the shoes don't look worn out fast but I don't think those quality issues should happen to 400 euro shoes... I have five pairs and two of them are having (small) issues, I've never had issues like that with other shoes before!
