Are these trainers suitable for running?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using shoe stretchers if the tightness is significant.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Discomfort during long wear
Ensure you have the correct size and consider using insoles for added cushioning or arch support if needed.
