Is this normal on brand new cycling shoes?
Just got these in the mail on monday, noticed some glue on the side of the shoe where the carbon meets the shoe...almost something in the vents...

I would complain, the point of vents is clearly contradicted with the glue being there. What kind of shoes? Did you try to clean it out? if its shoe glue it will be a pain.

Probably not a big deal, but maybe if you raise a stink you'll get replacements... Might have helped to buy them at an LBS (sorry I had to)

Ah alright it isn't the end of the world, maybe CRC will give me the 2013 model for the same price but I doubt it. I really like this color, I suppose it's part of the handmade process...forgot what the correct term is at the moment xD.
