Sizing feels too tight
If the fit is snug, try wearing thinner socks or consider if a half-size larger would be more comfortable. Allow for a brief break-in period.
Leather scuff marks appear
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or balm.
Laces wear out quickly
