How Long Should a Good Shoe Last?

How Long Should a Good Shoe Last?

When deciding to buy a leather shoe, one of the most important questions customers ask us at Lummfort while placing an order is, “How long will this shoe last?” This question comes from genuine curiosity, mostly from first-time buyers, and when we talk with them, most say something like “We bought a shoe more expensive than this, and it didn’t last.”

As professionals in the shoemaking business, we empathize with them and educate them on what to look out for when buying a shoe. We also do a bit of myth-busting by letting our customers know that buying an expensive shoe does not necessarily mean they will get high quality. There is also no single answer to how long a shoe will last, as it depends on several factors:

  • Shoe construction method

  • Type of leather used (full-grain leather, top-grain leather, genuine leather and synthetic leather)

  • Shoe care and maintenance

However, our promise to you is that if you buy footwear made from leather from Lummfort, we guarantee a lifespan of 3 to 5 years with adequate aftercare support through our dedicated shoe clinic. 

Always remember that a shoe’s lifespan begins on the production floor and depends on how well it is cared for with regular use. You can trust us to adhere to the highest production standards. We have also created a general online shoe care checklist, and a specific aftercare guide for your pair is added to your order once it is ready to ship. At Lummfort, we stand behind every pair we make.
