革靴ノート｜手入れとローテーション記録

Have you worn those leather shoes yesterday and the day before? Wearing leather shoes consecutively prevents moisture from escaping completely, causing both the leather and soles to deteriorate quickly. This is because your feet sweat about a cupful a day, and the leather absorbs much of it, taking 1-2 days to dry.


Leather Shoe Notebook is a record app for leather shoes that tells you "which shoes to wear today" and "when it's time for maintenance" by recording the days you wear them and how you've maintained them.


■ Know which pair to wear today (Rotation Management)

This is the core function of this app. By deciding "how many days to rest" each shoe, the app automatically sorts shoes based on your wear records, separating those that have had enough rest from those that still need rest. It recommends the best-drying pair at the top, preventing you from wearing the same shoes repeatedly and allowing you to use your leather shoes for longer.


■ Maintenance Time Notification
You can set the frequency of applying leather conditioning cream for each pair of shoes (a guideline is 5 times/month). The app counts the number of times you've worn your shoes since the last maintenance and notifies you when you reach the target. Brushing and shoe trees can be recorded as daily care, while cream application, polishing, and waterproofing can be recorded separately as periodic criteria.

■ Documenting Aging with Photos
Taking photos after each maintenance session creates a chronological album of your shoes' aging process. The joy of watching your shoes "break in" becomes visibly apparent.

■ Reviewing with a Calendar
The days you wore and maintained your shoes are marked on a calendar. The more you record, the more the calendar fills up, allowing you to see at a glance "how many times you wore which shoes this month."

■ Understanding Trends Through Statistics
You can review the number of times each pair of shoes was worn, the type of maintenance performed, the number of times worn each month, and how you wore them in different weather conditions using bar graphs.

■ The Basics of Leather Shoes
Includes information on rotation, frequency of leather conditioning cream application, brushing, shoe trees, rain care, and storage tips, each with its own source.

■ What it Can't Do (Listed First)
- This app does not offer shoe or care product sales or online ordering. It is solely for recording your existing leather shoes.
- Weather information is not automatically retrieved. This is an item you select when recording your wear (to keep everything within your device without using data).
- The display of rest and maintenance cycles is an estimate based on the set number of times/days and your input. The condition of the leather varies depending on the material and environment.
- There is no automatic synchronization across devices. Records are saved only on the device where you entered the data.

■ What It Doesn't Collect
There is no account registration or login. All shoe photos, records, and settings are saved only on your device and are not sent to external servers. Since this app is provided free of charge, banner ads (Google AdMob) will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Data will be transmitted to Google for ad delivery. Ads will not be displayed on screens during the input process. Since uninstalling the app will erase your records, it's a good idea to save important photos in your device's photo album as well.

Start by registering the pair of shoes you wear most often. Each time you record the day you wear them, you'll get a better idea of ​​which pair to wear next and when it's time for maintenance.
