Folds on weightlifting shoes normal?

Hello, are the creases on my lifting shoes a cause for concern or is this how they all are? I've had them for about a month and only used them for weightlifting. I'm also concerned from the pull of the leather on the lace holes.

These are my first weightlifting shoes and they are pricy to me so I'm concerned. Thanks for your input (They are also a bit uncomfortable on the outside of the foot but that's besides the point)
