Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them more loosely. If still tight, consider wearing with thinner socks or break them in with shorter wear periods.
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and dust. Ensure the surface you are skating on is also clean.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, gently use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely.
