Tight fit
Loosen the laces significantly and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring wider fit options if available.
Leather creasing
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
