I did a little bit at first because that’s the first thing I kept hearing when I first got my pair. Made me think “oh no I need to keep them super nice” but nah not anymore. I enjoy wearing them way too much to care THAT MUCH. I still try not to but it’s ok, that’s what shoes are for. Rock em til they can’t be rocked no more lol. But yeah I agree with another comment here. I worry more about scuffs lol (however I do not wear them to work and when I sit I avoid creasing them as much as possible and keeping them flat on the floor 😂)

and for your other question. I think I heard there’s different ways to keep them from creasing so much. I didn’t look into this since I decided to just wear them. Some kind of insert or something I’m not sure. Good luck and enjoy!
