How to identify the quality of leather shoes?
1. The quality of the shoe includes the upper and the shoe, and the authenticity of the leather should be discerned.
Natural leather is the dermis, is a pore, generally difficult to see with the eyes, you can use the thumb to press the skin, to see if there is a fine striae lines next to the thumb. Fine lines, fine lines disappeared after the release of the hand, leather shoes full of good elasticity for the better natural leather, a deeper wrinkle is a poor cortical natural skin. If there are no fine lines, most of them are not natural leather, including two-layered leather.
Another notable feature of natural leather is a flaw on the surface of the leather. In general, the upper of natural leather has slight blemishes on the inner side of the shoe and other inconspicuous areas, such as uneven skin thickness, bright blemishes, and blemishes. The cross section of natural leather has three levels of density: the epidermis is very fine and flexible, and the dense dermis is in the middle. The following is a relatively loose, fibrous layer, and there is no clear distinction between the layers. Leather shoes are reinforced materials used to prevent stretch deformation and improve the feel of the foot. Requires the shoe material has a fine touch, breathable, excellent moisture absorption and humidity, can not afford color and other properties. Shoes made of high-grade leather shoes are made of natural leather and cotton. If the upper is natural leather, the artificial leather is used in the shoe, which can only be regarded as middle and low shoes. Most consumers ignore the selection and identification of materials in shoes. This is wrong.
2. Look at the suture suture and the bottom adhesive seam to identify the quality of the processing.
To see if there is a broken line, the shoe suture line is neat and standardized. In particular, the bonded parts of the adhesive shoes should be bonded and smooth without any gaps, and there should be no signs of false seams and gels.
3. Touch the inner cavity of the shoe with your hands to see if there is unevenness in the inside and the bottom of the shoe.
Wherever you can touch the feet, don't be uneven, otherwise the feet will blister. There must be an insole inside the shoe. It is designed to keep the inside of the shoe clean, cover the uneven nail holes on the inner bottom, and improve the feel of the feet.
4. Use handkerchief to help the heel to see if it is firm and flexible.
It is required that there should be no traces of groove in the stiffened part of the heel, and the elasticity under the ankle is good and not too hard, otherwise the ankle will be damaged.
5. Press the inner bottom of the waist to see if it is hard.
The insole of the shoe is the trunk and skeleton of the shoe. Pressing firmly on the inside of the shoe will help keep the shoe in place. Skeleton and torso are not stiff, shoes will inevitably be deformed and damage the foot.
6. Place the shoes on the desktop or on the glass, and check if the shoes are stable. When the shoes are placed on the table, they should immediately stop shaking.
7. Use the middle fingertip to insert under the front pointed shoe sole to see if the front chin height is appropriate.
When the toe of the toe is just enough for the thickness of the fingertip of the middle finger, it means that the front of the toe is right. When the front of the toe tip is too large, the stability is reduced; when the forehead is too small, the soles of the shoes wear quickly, the shoes are easily deformed, and the feet are easily fatigued.
8. Hold the shoes with your hands and see if the sole and heel contact are stable.
Place the sole and heel lightly on the side of the table (or counter) with the side of the shoe facing up and look at the contact area of ​​the sole. It is better to contact the side of the table with the sole (the widest part of the sole) and the entire heel plane. Otherwise the shoes are easily deformed and the heel is dropped.
9. Place the shoe flat on the table and check for correctness in both the front and rear directions.
From the toe head first, look at the size of the inner and outer edge of the shoe from the desktop tilt, should be little difference, in order to maintain a good balance. From the heel of the shoe to the front, check if the heel of the shoe is up and down vertically. It is better not to incline to the inside or outside.
10. Use the index finger to stand on the outside of the back of the shallow shoes and look at the height of the upper part of the outer part.
The tip of the index finger touches the insole of the shoe downwards, so that the forefinger approaches the upper of the outer crotch, and the second finger line of the forefinger is consistent with the height of the upper crotch. General life shoes, social etiquette shoes, and fashion shoes are slightly lower than the second finger line of the index finger; low-rise sports shoes and casual shoes have a soft mouth structure at the back, and the height of the outside can be slightly higher. In the second finger line of the index finger.
11. Looking down from the top to the top, look at the symmetry of the upper part and whether the outline of the shoe is deformed.
Take the straight line between the toe and the midpoint of the heel as the axis of symmetry, and see if the components on the shoe upper are symmetrical. It is better to move the interior and exterior symmetrically without moving forwards and backwards. The contours of the shoe's mouth should be folded toward the inside of the shoe, and the smooth and round ones should be good; the shoes that are distorted into lotus leaf shape should be inferior shoes.
12. Understand the performance of the outsole of the shoe and select the applicable outsole.
There are a variety of shoes outsole, according to the main raw materials can be divided into rubber bottom, imitation leather, plastic bottom and many other, each performance is: rubber sole with soft, good elasticity, non-slip, wear resistance, heat and cold resistance Good features. Only a little heavier texture. Imitation leather sole, lightweight, stiff, wear-resistant, resistant to twists and turns. However, it is less flexible and less slippery. Plastic soles, good wear resistance and elasticity. However, the texture is hard and the heat and cold resistance are poor.
