Vans is an influential street sports brand in the United States. Its shoes also integrate a variety of fashion elements and are loved by many young people. Nowadays, many people like to buy things on Taobao and feel that they save money. Can you still see the actual pictures taken in the store when you are shopping?

How to identify the authenticity of Vans shoes on Taobao

When we click on the products we like on Taobao, we will all know the following: There are detailed pictures of the product. Let’s take a look at the toe first. The detailed picture of the authentic Vance is clearly taken. The toe is slightly raised, which looks more three-dimensional, and the glue is processed very carefully. In the pictures taken by the fakes, there are still bulging marks on the edge of the toe. The surface is generally flat and has no three-dimensional effect. There is glue that has not been cleaned in the subtle edges, and there is a lot of residue, which seems to affect the appearance. Soles

Genuine Vans soles are made of high-quality beef tendon. In the picture, they look generally shiny and of better quality. They also have sharp edges and corners, fine workmanship, and subtle details. No flaws can be seen. The soles of the fakes are made of ordinary beef tendon material, and the proportions are also randomly matched, so the gloss looks darker, feels hard, has no softness, and the workmanship is relatively rough. In some delicate places, the materials are connected to Together, the cleanliness of the soles is relatively poor. Tongue

Regarding the tongue, we mainly look at the trademark printing on the tongue. The authentic tongue seems to be well printed, with no traces remaining on the four sides, and the printed material has not fallen off due to wrinkles. The printing on the tongues of fake shoes is relatively blurry, with different colors, and sometimes there are residues of the printing material on the edges, and there are also signs of falling off due to wrinkles, which proves that the printing material is relatively poor. Upper

In fact, the material of the upper can also be compared in the photos, because there are enlarged pictures. The upper of genuine Vans looks fine in texture, with small gaps between the grids and a certain degree of gloss, and every detail of the upper is sewn very finely. Due to the poor material of the fake shoe upper, it looks sparse, the gaps between the mesh are relatively large, and it looks lackluster. If you look closely, you will find threads exposed in the subtle details of the upper. Heel

The heel of the product is also part of identifying authenticity. We mainly look at the level of printing. The heel of the shoe in the authentic picture is finely printed and looks very clear, without any scratch marks and looks bright and clean. The heel of the fake is poorly printed, with more dye residue, and the surface looks dirty. It can be seen that the printing level is poor. Careful people will also notice that the heel trademark of the fake has a white background, while the genuine one has a black background.

Notes: When shopping online, try to choose stores with better credibility and popularity. My suggestion is that you’d better go to Vans official flagship store to buy. To avoid buying fake products. When purchasing, pay attention to the size of the shoes and the store's instructions, and try to buy a product that suits you.
