The Shoe Rack

While your leather shoes may have once been shiny and reliable, with constant wear they may appear dull and develop creases. With leather marketed for its durability, you’re likely questioning why does leather crack and lose its vibrance over time?

Unfortunately, the same properties that make the natural material breathable, customizable and comfortable also make it prone to creases and environmental damage.

However, FootFitter is here to stress the importance of properly caring for your leather. With the right upkeep, leather shoes can last several years in your collection.

To make things easier, we’ll break down why leather cracks and how to best prevent it from happening to your kicks.

Search for a pair of walking shoes that have a low and supportive heel that bevels in. A thick heel or a flared one will make your foot slap down rather than give a rolling effect. This decreases momentum in the forward direction and raises the possibilities of acquiring sore shins.
