1. Leather

Leather is the most favorite shoe material out there. Providing comfort and relaxation to our feet is a good trait of leather shoes. Leather shoes are not too costly but at the same time not too cheap. The price is determined by which animal's skin is used as leather to make shoes. You can read the variety of leather here. The good points of leather shoes are they are eco-friendly, smells good, and highly durable.

If you have two options one is artificial leather shoes other genuine leather shoes that can be a little costly. One should definitely go for genuine leather shoes as they are highly durable means 1 pair of genuine leather shoes equals 2 pairs of artificial leather shoes. In contrast, they are not all-weather shoes and that also should be kept in mind.

Next, Talking about what occasions to wear. They are mostly worn on any formal occasion like in the office, for an interview, or any marriage or function.

2. Canvas

The Second most favorite shoe material and commonly worn by young guys. Furthermore, the advantage that we get with canvas shoes is low maintenance. You can be carefree with canvas shoes on. On basis of affordability, they are available in all price range. As I told you they are highly durable with very little maintenance. The bad part is if you are going for comfort these are not the right choice, go for sneakers instead.

These types of shoes are very casually worn, they are meant to look cool, casual, and having fun.

3. Textiles

Textiles shoes are those shoes made of cotton, nylon, polyester, or wool. It is preferred that one should wear these shoes inside the house only. They look very simple and casual. It can be risky to wear outside as they are not so durable nor attractive. On a price basis, they are very cheap.

Talking about durability they might not be durable since the textile material is not very strong and you need to take care of those shoes. Cleaning these shoes can be tricky like you have to be very gentle as the threads may come out.

As they are very casual, your can wear them on normal days.

4. Natural Rubber

By natural rubber I mean to say shoes made of rubber sole. Generally, sports shoes have rubber soles. The advantage that rubber sole shoes provide is they are slip-resistant, durable, elastic, comfortable, and most importantly waterproof. These shoes are more economic than leather shoes.

According to affordability, they are available in all price range. People generally wear these shoes on a casual basis. Those guys whose job requires movement should wear rubber sports shoes. They are very comfortable and flexible.

5. Synthetics

Synthetics are also called PU Leather or artificial leather in common terms. These shoes are completely man-made. The good part is the manufacturer has complete control over the type and quality of material as opposed to natural leather. Due to that factor, these shoes are really very cheap. 

Talking about durability they are the worst, you need to change them very often. Their lifespan maybe 6 months to a year and they are not economic as they are man-made. I do not recommend buying these types of shoes but in the worst cases, one can buy them. One can wear them on a casual basis only.

6. Denim

Denim materials are mostly used to make jeans, but nowadays there is a demand for denim shoes also. The trend is to wear complete denim outfits i.e from right from shirt to shoes all denim. Additionally, they always remain trendy means the denim fashion never dies or becomes old. So one can wear denim shoes anytime according to style. They are comfortable, stylish, and most importantly durable.

The little issue is that they can be a bit costly so that has to be kept in mind but it will be value for money. I would definitely like to have one as my collection.

So these were 6 types of material used to make shoes.
