What is the significance of the 'Gum' in 'Black Gum'?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Leather can take some time to break in and mold to your foot. Wearing them for short periods initially can help. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if slightly loose, or thinner socks if they are initially tight.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a matching color shoe polish or a leather repair cream. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Gum sole appears dirty or discolored
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a specialized sole cleaner can be used carefully. Avoid harsh solvents that could damage the material.
Tongue slips to one side
Ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue's lace loops (if present) or tied securely to keep the tongue in place.
