Wear the shoes with thinner socks initially or try a 'break-in' period by wearing them for short durations. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if a different size is needed.

Inspect laces regularly and replace them with durable, skate-specific laces if they show signs of wear.

For minor detachment, a strong adhesive suitable for shoe repair can be used. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

This can sometimes occur with new dark-colored shoes. Wearing darker socks or washing the inside of the shoes gently (if applicable to the material) might help reduce initial transfer. Allow shoes to air out completely before wearing.
