When we buy leather goods, we no longer buy a necessity as we did thirty years ago, but to buy a hobby and have one more choice. Just imagine, if you are carrying a high-quality imitation leather goods, what will passers-by on the street think of you? What do your colleagues in the company think of you? However, we are now in an era of advanced information technology, and many people will have one or two micro-business friends. Just like e-commerce, there are also good intentions, and shoddy businesses still exist. So, how should we identify such a social phenomenon? Next, Xiaomei will introduce to you how to tell whether shoes are real leather or fake leather, so you don’t get fooled again.

First, look at the pores and touch of the shoe upper. The pores of animal skins are irregular and have pores. The surface thickness is also uneven. The surface is often more or less, or There are some natural imperfections in light or heavy ones, and their surface smoothness and fineness vary. Generally, the sides and abdomen are loose. The full-material leather has obvious pores and patterns, and there are usually piles in the leather. The pores of microfiber or leather materials are regular and uniform because they are artificial. The genuine leather is elastic when touched by hand, and the folds produced by bending the genuine leather at different parts will be fine. Synthetic leather feels like plastic and is rigid. There are no obvious pores and wrinkles on the surface when pressed, and they will not disappear naturally.

Second, smell. Genuine leather has a unique leather smell. Artificial leather has a pungent chemical smell. Take some scraps and burn them with fire. First look at the ashes. If the ashes are in the form of powder, it is genuine leather, and if the ashes are in the form of rubber ball particles, they are synthetic leather. Then smell the smell. If there is a smell of burnt hair, it is genuine leather, and if there is a chemical burnt smell, it is genuine leather. It's synthetic leather. Or you can choose the air blow identification method. Blow your saliva on the back of the leather. If there is leakage on the front, it is genuine leather. Because genuine leather has this "anti-reverse performance", for example, when you put on leather clothing, the cold-proof effect is very obvious, and it forms a good Breathability, which fully reflects the value of genuine leather. Fake leather does not. No matter how hard you blow on the fake leather, it won't feel breathable because it has no pores.

Third, press. Press the insole at the waist to see if it is hard. The insole of the shoe is the torso and skeleton of the shoe. Press the insole firmly to make sure it does not move at all. However, if it is cowhide, small wrinkles will appear. After putting your fingers on it, the wrinkles will disappear naturally. Moreover, if the skeleton and trunk are not stiff, the shoes will inevitably deform and damage the shape of the feet. Place the shoes flatly on the table or glass plate to check whether the shoes are stable. When the shoes are placed on the table, they should immediately stop shaking from side to side. In addition, from a cross-section perspective, the cross-section fibers of natural leather have their own characteristics, and the fiber thickness of each layer changes. The fiber layers of synthetic leather are basically uniform, and the surface layer is like a plastic film.

In addition, when buying leather shoes, you must not make do with it. You must choose leather shoes that are suitable for your feet in width and size. In addition, the time when buying leather shoes is also important. If a person's feet are slightly swollen in the afternoon, the leather shoes purchased at this time should be of a suitable size; if you try on the shoes in the morning, you should leave a margin to avoid squeezing your feet after wearing them for a long time. When we buy leather shoes, we try to choose ones with a larger toe, so that they will be more comfortable and less likely to be worn when worn. Also, when purchasing, don’t be superstitious about the original foreign trade order, export to domestic sales, etc. Don’t believe in some so-called foreign brands. In fact, Chinese bosses have registered a trademark abroad. The production process and base are all in China. It is said to be an authentic foreign product, but in fact, foreigners don’t even know this brand exists.

In short, be cautious when purchasing leather shoes. After all, what the salesperson said is one thing, and what you buy may not be the same. Therefore, when buying leather shoes, we can use these tips in advance to avoid being blindfolded by the merchants and buy the shoes that you want. thing.
