Materials (edit)
Most often, shoes are made of genuine leather. This is an almost ideal material that is not afraid of precipitation, while maintaining its attractive appearance. In leather shoes, the leg does not sweat, and the shoes themselves wear out faster and rarely rub.
Suede shoes look very impressive and noble. Their significant drawback is that they are afraid of precipitation, and light suede is quite difficult to clean from dust and dirt. True, shoes with a strap are more designed for summer and the warm off-season, when it is often dry and clean outside, so you can safely purchase them just for this kind of weather.
Patent leather shoes are the trend of the season. They are quite attractive due to their glossy alluring shine. A significant drawback of varnish is that the foot in such shoes does not breathe, so it is better not to wear them all the time, leaving them for evening outings.
Textile models are another good option for special occasions, especially if you match them with a dress. They are hardly suitable for daily wear, since textiles require special care, and it is difficult to clean it from dust without special detergents.
The main advantage of leatherette shoes is their low cost, which almost every girl can afford. However, artificial materials are different, and it is better to immediately abandon dubious low quality models.
It is very simple to define them - they have a pronounced chemical odor and do not look very attractive outwardly.In such shoes the foot will sweat and it is unlikely that it will serve you for a long time.
If you want to buy shoes made of artificial material, rely on eco-leather - a high-quality and safe analogue of natural leather.
