8 month old puppy chewing on the walls

I take her to the dog park every day. We go on walks morning and evening, primarily focused on leash training (which also feels like an uphill battle, but we’re making progress). I make her puzzle boxes and other enrichment for when I’m at work. My work hours are generally flexible, so I usually don’t leave her unattended for a full 8 hour workday, but it’s not always possible. I’ve tried puppy proofing so she doesn’t chew anything important, but now she’s chewing the walls. I don’t understand what to do. Is this normal? Will it get better as she gets older? I feel like I’m at my wits end!

How to revive these boots?

I got Bick 4 Leather Conditioner, a horsehair brush, and some saphir medaille d’or shoe polish, but honestly, I don’t know what I’m doing. They still seem really wrinkled.

Edit: Thanks all, I’m clearly ignorant on boot care but I’ve learned these look just right :) I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing them any harm! I’ll continue to wear and enjoy them as they develop over time.
