Speedhook scuffing on new Beckmans?
Picked up a pair of black cherry Beckmans over the weekend and they are beautiful! But, I wore them once and noticed some heavy scuffing on the tongue from the back of the speedhooks. Is this typical? The back of the hooks are especially rough and not flush compared to the eyelets. I realize this part of the tongue isn’t visible but I am more concerned that the leather itself is going to get chewed up and torn. Thoughts?
