Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow the leather to stretch naturally. If the issue persists, consider if a larger size is needed or consult a cobbler for professional stretching.

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a colored leather polish or cream that matches the boot color, applying it gently with a cloth and buffing to a shine.

If the soles feel slippery, particularly on smooth indoor floors, a cobbler can apply a rubber sole protector or roughen the existing sole slightly for improved grip.
