Why Shoes Left Unworn for a Long Time Get Broken Easily When Finally Used?

I normally experience this with leather (or fake leather) shoes (men’s and women’s).

And is there any way to mitigate this problem without regularly using said shoes?

    Pleather is just shitty plastic lined fabric. Its lifespan is only a few years tops, after which it falls apart faster than a single parent with medical bills. It’s less likely to happen with reap leather.
