Taking the different types of leather into account, this question can be answered quite broadly. But for me, the biggest weakness of leather in general is its potential to dry out, which is why you should treat leather in your life with a nourishing care cream from time to time. For leather shoes, shoe cream typically serves this function.

You can wear a pair of leather shoes for several hours in one day, but you should not do this for two or more days in a row. This protects your shoes and especially the inner lining from damage in the long term if you include resting periods of at least one to two days.

It depends entirely on the specific weather and where you are. In dry winter weather, you can wear leather shoes pretty easily — rubber soles provide better grip on ice and slippery surfaces. In wet weather, however, road salt in slush or puddles can severely damage the leather.

A catalog of frequently asked questions—perhaps one of your questions is included and you will find an answer to it.

Walking creases at the front of the shoe can look very unattractive. Then there are also shoes that show almost no walking creases. Where does this come from, and which factors actually promote walking creases? How can you reduce walking creases, and when is this not possible?

This post is for everyone who doesn’t want to regret buying shoes afterward. Maybe I can’t cover every risk, but I can certainly cover a good part of them. In addition, I also give useful info for after you buy shoes.

Dust, dirt, foot sweat, stretching and pulling back together - leather shoes are subjected to enormous stresses in everyday life. So that this keeps working well and the leather doesn’t crack, you can read more here about the shoe care needed. Together with the option of having your leather shoes resoled, you can wear your leather shoes for several decades with the help of shoe care.

Handmade leather shoes are produced with great effort, mostly by hand rather than by machine. In most cases only a mechanical sewing machine is used for stitching the upper together - the rest is pure handwork and brings with it qualities that no machine can match. But not all of these qualities are equally important.
