The crack/cut is not quite in line with the creases - I'm fairly certain that it didn't start as a crease and then get worse. The crack/cut is also pretty much vertical - it could be the result of a scrape on the edge of a brick or stone step. And it looks like you have some scratches parallel to it on the toecap.The rain/snow piece is a good theory.
No, I was not conditioning them regularly. These were bespoke shoes I had made.
Hi, I don't have Haglund's, although I regularly place pads on my heels so that I don't get blisters. And that is another thing I noticed since I started buying nicer shoes, I never had to use blister pads when I was young until I graduated from medical school, but now my formal shoes would surely hurt my foot if I wore them without said pads. I'm not sure if I need to go a half size larger or if my obsessive rotation (not wearing a pair more than once a week) is not giving my pairs the time they need to adjust to my feet, probably the former. My last pair of cheaper shoes were Bostonian's from Clark's that I wore almost everyday, never put shoe trees in, didn't hurt my feet, although they looked dowdy and creased after one year of regular use.To the Dude with the worn out linings. I'm pretty sure you have a mild case of Haglund's deformity. This is a small lump towards the back/outer part of the heel where the tendon attaches to the heel bone.
Do me a favour - take your shes and socks off and lift your foot so your toes are pointing up. Feel the back if your heel with your hand. Is it quite symetrical, or is there a pronounced lump near the rear/outside part of the heel?
I suspect that pressure point is rubbing through your leather linings.
Can these be salvage and how should I go about doing it? Thanks.
