Without appropriate conditioning and care, leather would dry out and crack and even fall apart. Thus, investing on a descent shoe polish for leather shoes is very essential. More importantly, shoes should be cleaned and polished regularly, at least once a month to avoid degradation of leather skin, and development of cracks on them.
