What kind of shoes are more comfortable inside?
When choosing shoes, the material inside is crucial for the comfort of wearing. The common inner materials mainly include leather, fabric, PU, and microfiber, each with different characteristics:
Pig skin: The most common genuine leather lining, soft and foot friendly, sturdy and durable, highly breathable, and relatively affordable in price.
Leather: Durable and breathable, but expensive, commonly used in high-end shoes.
Sheepskin: Soft texture, comfortable to wear, suitable for long-term wear, but the price is relatively high.
The fabric inside is soft and breathable, suitable for casual shoes and some boots. It is softer than leather and suitable for long-term wear, especially in hot weather.
The disadvantage is poor wear resistance, and prolonged wearing may easily cause damage.
PU (polyurethane)
PU lining is an artificial material with a low price, similar in appearance to genuine leather, but lacks breathability, making it easy to feel stuffy when worn. Long term use may cause discomfort and even smelly feet.
micro fiber leather
Ultra fiber leather is a high-end material in artificial leather, with a soft touch and a similar appearance to genuine leather. It has the advantages of wear resistance, breathability, and aging resistance, making it a superior choice among artificial leather and suitable for people who have high requirements for price and durability.
✔ If pursuing comfort and breathability, genuine leather (pigskin, cowhide, sheepskin) is the best choice; If the budget is limited, microfiber leather is a good alternative
Although PU material has a low price, its breathability is poor. It is recommended to avoid wearing it for a long time as much as possible.
