Leather appears scuffed or dirty

Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Ensure they are tied securely.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The gum sole provides traction but can be less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.
