For what it's worth, if I found Sanfords that fit me, I would probably keep them, and I'd be willing to bet you don't already have any other shoes in burgundy.

@AedanM: In regard to the wrinkles. I have seen a few posts on AskAndyAboutClothes and the StyleForum that have mentioned a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK technique that can sometimes help to remove wrinkles. I have never tried it.
If portions of the shoe vamp is very wrinkled:
Using a curling Iron (that just has the barrel with the curling part removed)
1) Insert cedar shoe trees into the shoe.
2) Spray the shoe with a liquid stretch solution (most shoe repair shops carry it)
3) Warm up the curling iron but don't touch the shoe yet. (low to medium heat setting)
4) Unplug the curling iron.
5) Place a clean, heavy brown paper or 100 percent cotton cloth, such as a towel on the shoe between the leather and the iron to protect the shoe from overheating. Gently press the iron with a light, quick hand motion on the wrinkled portion.
* Do not use steam while ironing the wrinkled leather.
* If needed, plug the iron in again if it gets too cold.
If portions of the shoe vamp is slightly wrinkled:
Use a hair dryer. Set the blow dryer at its highest setting. Hold the dryer above the wrinkled portion 8 to 10 inches away from the leather. Move it back and forth to avoid burning the leather. Smooth it with your hands when it gets soft. Do this until the wrinkles disappear.
