In Shibolei HaLeket, Simchot 32, it is written that one does not recite the blessing 'She'asa Li Kol Tzorki', and this is also written by the Chazon Ish. However, the opinion of the Mishnah Berurah, Siman 594, Siftei Kohavim 31, as written in the Levush, Siman 614, Paragraph 4, is to recite on Yom Kippur the blessing 'She'asa Li Kol Tzorki', since there are instances where it is permitted to wear, such as the danger of a scorpion, etc.
Moreover, if he wears shoes that are not made of leather, he certainly should bless.
