Can I replace the laces?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner designed for oily leather. Ensure the boots are clean before applying conditioner.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure no debris is obstructing the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth and test gently.
Water penetration
While the leather offers some resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically for leather boots. Ensure the boots are thoroughly dried after exposure to moisture.
