I've been after the Bass Weejuns, harris tweed penny loafer for a long time and I managed to get a pair last week. After my first wear I noticed that the edge of the leather sole at the front appears to have frayed? And almost upturned. Is there anyway of fixing this or preventing further damage. I've had a lot of proper leather soled shoes but never had this problem.
