Dear Mrs Elley,

I am writing to persuade you about why I think leather shoes are better to wear than sport shoes during school hours. I disagree to wearing sport shoes during school hours, and this is the reason why.

Leather shoes are better than sport shoes because they help protect you. Let’s say you were in a science room, of course a science room has dangerous chemicals and objects contained in them. Leather shoes can protect you from the dangerous objects because if they fall onto your foot it wouldn’t hurt as much.

Leather shoes are also fashionable. It makes you look like you belong in high fashion. As a matter of fact wearing leather shoes smartens up your overall style. To add to this, leather shoes will fit to the shape of your feet, giving you comfort, and support.

These shoes are easy to clean and eco-friendly. Compared to other clothing made from fake resources that can be harmful to the environment, leather shoes use natural materials. Since leather shoes feature natural qualities, you can speed your way through the cleaning process.

Although some people might disagree with me but I strongly agree that leather shoes are better than sport shoes because, they are easier to clean, they’re fashionable, they protect you and of course they’re eco-friendly. Of course we want to be as eco-friendly as possible. Also leather shoes are the typical school shoes, in some schools they let their students wear sport shoes during school hours.
