Why Shoes Left Unworn for a Long Time Get Broken Easily When Finally Used?
Why Shoes Left Unworn for a Long Time Get Broken Easily When Finally Used?
I normally experience this with leather (or fake leather) shoes (men's and women's).
And is there any way to mitigate this problem without regularly using said shoes?

I've used mink oil on some of my leather items (belts, knife sheathes) and I found it softened them up quite a bit
Linseed oil is good too, but be careful disposing of the rags. 🔥
Mink oil is good to have but I've never found anything to top Bicks #4 conditioner. It took me years and several thousands of dollars of leather products to cave and buy a bottle and I'll never use anything else. If you're serious about leather care, I'd recommend it highly
Interesting! As a fellow leather nerd, I feel the same way about Obenauf's LP. Have you heard of it?
