Guide to Buying Heels: Part 3

Uppers

One should buy mostly shoes and boots with genuine leather (including calfskin, kidskin, snakeskin, and suede) or cloth uppers. Genuine leather and cloth can stretch and absorb moisture or sweat, allowing it to evaporate. Man-made leather (including most patent leathers, polyurethane, and polyvinyl chloride or PVC) do not allow moisture to pass through quickly enough, causing wet feet and skin rashes. Man-made leather is good only for sandals and open toe shoes. One should limit wearing any pair of pumps and boots with man-made leather uppers to 3 or 4 hours per day.
