seam split on new meermin shoes
So I have worn these maybe 5 times and after wear 3 I noticed this light coloured thing in the seam. It looks like the seam is not shut, like on the rest of the shoe + the other shoe.
Any thoughts on what to do? Will it get worse? Do I glue it?
Not feeling optimistic about meermin support from other people's experience.

I think that's perfectly normal for moc toes - the actual seam is the stitching on either side, so this is just the undyed edge of the leather showing
If it bothers you aesthetically you could get some brown shoe polish and just gently paint it onto that undyed area to make it match, or I guess you could try and glue it as well but might be tricky to not get glue elsewhere on the shoe
Here for example on some Red Wings https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/205is5/is_this_splitting_on_the_moc_toe_seam_normal_red/
Personally would not worry about it.
Just put some cream on there. Boot black has some great products to add some colour.
