Because it's waterproof and hard-wearing.
Not necessary at all now as modern synthetics perfom much better than they used to
And breathable.
Rowan, leather for shoes, coats and upholstery is a by product of the meat industry, so not sure what you mean by 'necessary'.
Perhaps ruslan is going to tell us where we can buy some!
The OP asked why shoes needed to be made from leather they no longer need to be.... they are nicer, and last longer but the synthetic option is now viable for the meat is murder brigade... of which I am definitely not a member
Thank goodness were not going down that road.
Synthetic matrials are still vastly inferior to leather in every way. Nature has designed leather over millions of years.
But not shoes.. :-)

You can make shoes out or rubber, fabric, fur, plastic, string or lots of other things.
Leather is most comfortable, as it "gives". Plastic or vinyl shoes can be very sweaty, even when your feet are feeling cold. Also, you can re-colour leather shoes with shoe-dye when they are getting a bit tired-looking. And you can make a handbag match exactly with the same dye.
