Not for sure, but almost... There are no rests of wax (call it crud or mess or whatever you want). When shoes are worn barefoot, feet leave a thin layer of wax that is spreaded leaving solid rests.shoejoblover wrote:You can tell how they were worn by pics?talesdemileto wrote:Interesting. It's a pity the insoles are low quality leather and they are worn, apparently, with nylons. Anyaway go on with them
On the other side, nylons act as wipers or cleaning clothes as long as they get wet and touch the wax. If used regularly they can leave stains on the insoles but tend to leave them clean from wax-crud.
An example of a well worn pair with nylons. Stained but clean inside:
An exaple of a well worn pair without nylons. Apart from the stains (darker parts with toe imprints) there are rest of that natural body wax that is part of our natural skin protection. In this case it is black because the shoes were still hot and warm but when it dries it turns more white or beige.
I have been checking out shoes from many women too many years, I kwow how they get depending on the type of use.
