Why You Shouldn’t Wear the Same Pair of Leather Shoes Every Day
As much as you want to wear these new leather shoes to work every day, don’t mix them up. Normal daily wear can ruin the look of your leather shoes faster than you think.
A good pair of leather shoes can be expensive, so take good care of them and last a long time. This is why Jim Cass of the Allen Edmonds shoe company recommends changing the shoes you wear every day. Legs sweat all day and the skin absorbs it. They may not seem wet, but they are. If you don’t give your shoes enough time to dry, the leather won’t hold its shape and it will warp. In addition, wet skin will be more prone to scratches. Plus, they’ll start to stink faster. Cass suggests you have at least two pairs of shoes to rotate between, and store your shoes in wooden blocks to absorb excess moisture.
