Have you ever realised why do you spend a fortune on a smartphone that is just going to last for a couple of years? Every now and then, new smartphones are replacing the old models.

When it comes to buying formal shoes, nothing matches the comfort and quality of handmade shoes. Most men find handmade shoes really expensive.

Handmade shoes

Here are the 5 reasons why handmade shoes are better than regular formal shoes -

#1 Quality of leather

A pair of regular formal shoes is made of synthetic or cheap quality leather which will not last long. Poor quality leather cracks or splits over a period of time and does not mould your feet properly. However, if you pay a little more, you can buy these handmade shoes made of premium quality Italian calf leather which will last for years and keep looking good.
