Linseed oil consists of microspores containing glycolides - linseed oil processing products. These polymer materials protect shoes and prevent them from squeaking by reducing the friction of the seams. To stop the shoes from squeaking, it is enough to wet a cloth in a small amount of linseed oil and wipe a pair.

In addition, linseed oil, like any other, repels water, since it consists of water-insoluble fatty acids that prevent water from penetrating the material. In the process of oxidation and renewal, it protects the surface from destruction.
