🔹Clean your leather shoes after each wear
🔹Keep a shoe brush or microfiber cloth handy and give your shoes a quick clean after each wear. This will keep any dirt or grime from being ground into the leather as time goes on, saving you from having to deal with staining later on.

🔹STORE LEATHER SHOES WITH A SHOE TREE IN THEM
🔹A cedar or poplar shoe tree is perhaps THE most important part of shoe care, and it’s usually the most overlooked step. Leather is porous, so it absorbs moisture and odour, eventually causing it to break down. A shoe tree absorbs that moisture and odour while keeping the shoe’s proper shape to prevent creasing. You can extend the life of your shoes dramatically with just this single step alone.

🔹Is there a pungent smell?
🔹Another sign of good footwear is that there is no harsh chemical smell of glue or solvent. High-quality leather or textiles have a light, subtle scent of a new material, which will soon pass and will not interfere. Dyes for such shoes are used safely, they do not cause the formation of a pungent odor. When storing shoes in a box for a long time, the smell may be concentrated inside, but during fitting, you will understand how acceptable it is for natural material.
🔹Please note that even genuine leather shoes may smell slightly like glue: this does not mean that they are made of faux leather. The leather is natural, and there is a smell of glue, with which the sole is attached to the upper of the shoe. This smell is temporary and is of a production nature.
🔹With low-quality shoes, the opposite is true – bad materials and cheap, toxic dyes immediately give themselves out as extremely unpleasant chemical aromas that will not go away even after a month of wearing.

🔹It is recommended to start choosing shoes from the material. It can be not only leather but also velour, nubuck, fabric, artificial materials. They all differ in appearance, properties, and quality, so attention should be paid to the following nuances:
the coloring of shoes or boots should be uniform, without streaks or stains, only if the latter is not a design idea.

✔️the insole should be durable, evenly colored, and not leave marks on the skin (just rub it with your finger).
✔️the material should not have traces of damage, scratches, too thin places (such areas are not uncommon for low-quality natural leather).

🔹When choosing a material, you must consider the season. Suitable for summer light leather sandals or shoes for the autumn and spring is recommended shoes with moisture-proof impregnation, as a material suitable for leather, nubuck, and textiles. For autumn boots, a natural bike lining is recommended. Winter shoes should be warm and durable, the best options are leather or leather boots are great for wet weather, they will be indispensable for dry weather. The lining for winter shoes is made of wool, the recommended option is a natural material.

🔹Outsole quality
🔹The second point to pay attention to is the type of sole and flexibility. The best option is a flexible, moderately soft sole that provides a comfortable walk. For winter and wet weather, you need to choose a sole with a textured tread that will not slip. It is also recommended to pay attention to the heels, which must be of very good quality.
🔹When choosing shoes other than the sole, it is recommended to carefully examine the material under the insole (if it is removable). Foam rubber is usually used for shoes and shoes of poor quality, they should not last. The best option is natural dense leather or special textiles that allow air to pass through, protecting the foot from excessive sweating and the risk of developing fungus.

🔹It is necessary to choose high-quality shoes that will support the arch of the foot;
🔹The height and shape of the heel should maintain balance; unsteadiness of the foot indicates that the shoes are not suitable for you;
🔹The toes should be free, squeezing them leads to the appearance of calluses, swelling and pain in the foot;
🔹The heel should not create difficulties when walking, the foot should remain in a normal position, you should not have a constant urge to bend your knees. Some girls advice to conduct a test: after putting on new shoes, you need to stand on your toes: if you manage to easily tear your heels off the floor and stand on your toes, you will be able to walk in these shoes which will only be comfortable to stand on.
