Vegan or leather DM shoes?

[romu]

I am lusting after a pair of DM lace up shoes. Am I wrong to think vegan ones will be softer and easier to break in??

Get these instead

Leather should last longer than vegan leather.

Patent DMs tend not to break in

The vegan ones are not easier to break in.

I thought the same and it was a mistake. They are also narrower. I went for the leather after trying them on and used the DM balm a couple of times and wore them around the house a bit and they are fine.

I bought vegan DM boots (have never had the leather ones) and I haven't really needed to break them in, they're very soft and comfortable and have lasted wonderfully all year despite wearing them very very often. Hope that helps!

No they're plastic, hard and stinky. I've just bought the soft leather ones. Unless you are vegan I wouldn't touch them.

Also worth knowing the vegan ones STINK fairly quickly as they're not breathable

Sorry just saw you meant the shows not the boots. So can't comment on them!

I have the fur lined ones and have never needed to break them in.

Thanks all
