When you say leather shoes, two Cs instantly come to mind, comfort and classicness. Oh, classicness is not really a word, but you know what I mean.
So what should one look in a shoe when buying a made-of-leather? Comfort, quality, or what? I always look for a shoe that make me feel more myself.
If you are a man of good taste, which you must be. Go for something, which has clear distinction in design, quality with deep focus on comfort and fit. But the question is how to find such a fusion? No worries, we can help, here is what to look and how.
The real difficulty in good style of shoes is not the design, but maintaining fit and comfort within the particular design. Unlike rubber and other synthetic material leather is hard to mould. So a complex design is a challenge in leather shoes.
About pricing, I would only say: "Price is what you pay, value is what you get."

UPPER & INNER:
Different quality and types of leather is used in the manufacturing of shoes, mostly depends on the design needs. But Cow Calf Leather is considered to be the best leather for shoes. It is mainly because its upper skin doesn't break which means no cracks.
Calf leather can be unlined or grained the choice is yours but if you are purchasing grained shoes make sure the grained is present throughout.
Leather used inside the shoes is called lining, most shoes have it, some don't. Good material like leather, protects feet both from cold and heat.
SOLE:
Make sure, the quality of sole is as good as rest of the shoe. A good sole is one which is light weight, and support walking. Both rubber and leather can be used in a shoe sole.
Note: Try to avoid commando sole if possible as they pick up stones while walking.
ACCESSORIES:
In many cases, shoes accessories like buckle and laces define the look and style of a shoe. So it is very important that the shoe has perfect match with accessories in quality as well as alignment.
A good finished shoe is a good shoe. In the process of finishing, shoe is checked if it has the same colour, brightness, and overall look, and minor details are properly finished.FINISHING:
