Factory seconds condition is the weakest aspect for buyers, directly reflecting the video reviewers' likely concerns about quality control on discounted pairs.
In their words
“These were the shoes I picked for my wedding. Great quality shoe with a very comfortable fit. I got factory seconds and noticed a little splotching on the leather near the toe box, but these imperfections couldn't be seen from eye level. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality and looks of my shoes and am looking to get another pair in black”

“Could not be more disappointed with these shoes. Researched ‘factory seconds’ before purchasing and was expecting minor imperfections. Opened the box and saw four major dents in the toe cap. Have used the heat gun numerous times to only see minor improvements. Now shined the shoes and very disappointing. Total waste of money. Not wearing these to the board room.”
