Ensure laces are not overly tightened. If they feel stiff, they may be new and will loosen with wear. Consider replacing with alternative laces if preferred.
Uneven wear on the rubber sole
This can occur with prolonged or specific types of wear. Ensure proper walking gait. If significant, consult the care section for cleaning to maintain sole integrity.
Discoloration on the waxed cotton
