Why does it say to only wipe the leather room shoes with a dry cloth and no leather conditioner?

It is easy to think that leather shoes are usually cared for by applying nourishing creams, so seeing instructions to use only a dry cloth raises questions. One wants to check whether the leather's condition can be maintained without cream.

Room shoes 2
hmmm editorial answer

Because it is leather that has absorbed plenty of beef tallow during the tanning process and has sufficient oils of its own, it is recommended to wipe it only with a dry cloth without adding cream.

What role does the wrinkle detail on the ankle play when worn?

When choosing boots with a pointed toe that wrap around the ankle, some customers worry whether walking will be uncomfortable or if the leather will press against the ankle. This question is intended to check what practical function the wrinkles, which look like a design element, serve in terms of actual wearing comfort.

POINTED WRINKLE LEATHER BOOTS GREY
hmmm editorial answer

The wrinkles naturally formed along the ankle line help prevent the leather from folding stiffly when walking, and together with the 30mm heel, reduce the strain on the ankle.

How is the 'rugged sole' used on the boots' outsole different from a regular outsole?

When choosing leather boots, coming across the unfamiliar term rugged sole in the product description makes one wonder what shape and features the outsole has. This is asked to gauge how the outsole affects actual wearing comfort in shoes with a 5cm heel height.
