but we're talking about mass produced clarks here so give them a bash.
A shoemaker on making proper leather shoes will use a heatgun and a hammer to mould the leather on to the last. There is no problem with using a hairdryer and hammer to smash in the top line (nr your ankle).
There could be some extra material in the seam area (either leather, glue or thread).
The heat would help in softening any glue deposits and hammering would redistribute it - flatten it out, reduce the rubbing.
or you could piss on them...
