Is this leather shoe good from feet care point of view or it's just from the comfort point of view? My understanding is the synthetic shoes are cheaper comparatively; so what is the harm in buying this?

The material of the shoes makes a lot of difference in the comfort atleast. Perticularly the upper part of the shoe which covers the foot Leather would adapt itself to the shape of your foot. Synthetic material on the other hand do not remain streched as like the leather remain in their original shape of moulding. The temperature and water absorbption quality of the leather is typical and synthetic material instead doesn't absorb the heat or sweat at all. All the above charecterstics of leather make it a comfortable feeling to the user. Hence and though the synthetic shoes are cheaper one should avoid going for these.
