How often do you wear leather shoes, Pisti? For how long have you been wearing leather shoes?
I've been in the leather shoe game for over TWENTY FIVE YEARS, Pisti.... TWENTY FIVE! I wear them daily... I didnt come down in the last shower. I have the runs on the fucking board.
Leather soles are fine if you only wear them for weddings and funerals, or you're absolutely minted and can afford regular resoling... or if you are a massive poser.
For practicality and longevity, its synthetic soles all the way.
