How do I stop these stan smith's from cracking? I just bought them about 3 days ago and ive been babying them

dont get them wet
>>12308156
Mine cracked and creased so fast not even funny. At least they look good with wear
>how do I get my cheap leather shoes to stop being made of cheap leather
Throw them in the garbage and buy some CPs.

Muh CPs

They're super cheap, what did you really expect?
>>12308321
Stan Smiths are really poor quality considering their price point, though. GATs quality is leaps and bounds better despite being 1/4 the purchase price.

But then you have to support Hitler, sooooo

You support him either way, friendo

>GATs quality is leaps and bounds better
Is that so? I'm in the US so I'd be paying a little more for gats than stans anyway

Yeah. I mean it's purely anecdotal but they're by far the best shoes I've owned in terms of price:quality. I believe I got mine for around $60 shipped and they were new. I don't have any pictures from when I first got them, but here they are now a year later. The suede got much darker since I wore them throughout the rain. Again, this is a year of constant wear without any sort of treatment; no shoe trees, no cleaning, no babysitting. Compare the creasing to the 3-time use of Stan Smiths above and you'll see the difference.

Nice, I'll be getting some for about $80 shipped through grailed. They're just so versatile

They're really a great looking pair of sneakers. A word of warning though: most of my friends think they look like bowling shoes. I don't really mind since I like the aesthetic, but these aren't shoes that will wow anyone who doesn't know what they are. Here's a picture of them from the front that show the creases better. The leather feels like actual leather instead of something that was manufactured in a factory. I'm sure if you use shoe trees and cleaning products every other month, they'll look much better.

Haha I've already showed a pic of them to my friends and they all said they were hideous. Oh well
>>12308464
