Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Use thicker socks to help stretch the leather, or use a shoe stretcher.
Leather is scuffed or scratched.
Use a leather polish or cream in a matching color to cover minor scratches. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair.

If the stitching is minor, try to reinforce it yourself with a needle and thread. For significant damage, take the boots to a shoe repair shop.
