The longevity of your shoes depends on how and if you care for them. Even the most premium shoes will look poor if you do not care for them. Durability will increase immensely by following these simple shoe care instruction: Always use shoe trees. Always use a shoehorn. Rotate your shoes. Use a shoe brush after every other wear. Nourish your shoes about once a month. 

Styleforum is one of the most vibrant online communities for classic menswear and fashion. Sure, there's a street wear and denim section as well but who cares, right?
