Greetings
In the past, I have had some thin black rubber applied to my leather soled shoes to protect from scuffing, this has worked fine.
However, I have been told now that this is not recommended, and that I should let the leather" breathe", applying the thin rubber can cause rotting.
I am completely confused now, what do you do with this type of shoe ? apply the rubber? if i leave them unprotected- the soles will eventually become scuffed and impossible to walk in without slipping- but on the other hand aren't leather soled shoes meant to last longer?
Thanks in advance
