It cracks, and it does not allow the leather to "breathe" as it should, consequently it shortens the life expectency of your shoe by damaging the leather. I do like the patent leather shoes, only because I have gotten a lot lazier, and a whole lot busier. I guess in the end it all comes down to preference, and lately I prefer not to spend the hours I formally spent giving my shoes an ole fashion spit shine...Just MHO...UNSOLICITED

I have to jump in here to defend leather luster a little bit. A lot of people in the military do not apply the product properly. It should NOT be put in the oven to "bake" and the instructions should be followed for good results. I have sent two pairs of shoes to leather luster and they look good. They will NOT crack when done the right way.
It does hinder the leather from "breathing" like normal.
