The Incredible Benefits of Using Real Leather

Leather that lives with you - 365 days a year

At Loints, we’ve chosen real leather for generations because it simply does what shoes should do best: keep your feet comfortable, day in, day out. Here’s why.

 

Why real leather?
 
  • Breathable & fresh – Leather is a natural material with an open fiber structure. It lets air circulate and helps regulate moisture, keeping feet dry and comfortable.
 
  • Molds to your foot – After a few wears, leather subtly adapts to your unique shape for fewer pressure points and more comfort.
 
  • Temperature-regulating – Cool in summer, cozy in winter. Leather adjusts to your body temperature.
 
  • Durable & repairable – Quality leather wears in beautifully, develops character (patina), and can be cared for and repaired to extend its life.
 
  • Less odor buildup – Thanks to moisture absorption and ventilation, leather often stays fresher than many synthetics.
 
  • Strong yet supple – The sweet spot of support and flexibility for stability without stiffness.
 
  • Timeless good looks – It ages gracefully and often looks even better with wear.

 

How leather helps year-round
Summer: breathable comfort on hot days, less clamminess, great barefoot feel.

Winter: natural insulation with room for warm socks — without “locking in” your feet.
 
Get more from your leather shoes
  • Air them out after wear (avoid direct heat).
  • Brush & condition with a suitable cream or wax to keep them supple and rich in color.
  • Rotate pairs so the leather can recover between wears.
  • Footbeds/insoles: let them dry properly or replace as needed to keep things fresh.
