TheTest of a Good Shoe
It takes a shoe that’s made of
all genuine leather to stand water.
A shoe that has paper and other substi
tutes for leather hidden in its makeup,
quickly breaks down under dampness. No
matter whether it is in the heels, soles, insoles
or counters—paper and substitutes cannot
give satisfaction and wear like leather.
