There are several ways to judge the authenticity of leather shoes

First of all, from the trademark point of view, brand shoes will have several logos, tongue, toe, upper, and back of the shoe. The squats, insoles, soles, and shoelaces are all printed with original logos. And judging from the workmanship of the shoes, the genuine ones will be finer, while the imitation ones will be rougher. Furthermore, as for the material of the shoes, some Taobao friends Everyone is confused. Some shoe materials are written as smooth PU, suede, three-layer leather, super fiber, RB, TPU, MD, EVA, etc. (There are too many, I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish writing them tomorrow. ) Taobao friends should refer to the purpose of buying shoes and what materials they are made of. For example, hiking shoes. First of all, the upper material is usually used for outdoor shoes. One is the whole leather, which has not been sliced ??from the inside to the outside. of. In fact, as we all know, most leather shoes are made of cowhide cut into several layers. Usually the leather inside is inferior, so just talking about cowhide is useless. As mentioned earlier, it is waterproof and sturdy from the inside to the outside, but it is relatively heavy. There are also suede shoes, like work shoes, which have the advantage of being soft, breathable, and strong, but not as waterproof as the former. Mostly used in Hiking. Nowadays, many products are coated with Gore-tex to make them waterproof. The quality of the genuine leather is absolutely good, it feels good and strong, but not hard. If it is the kind of leather mentioned above, it is usually treated with oil immersion, which gives it a light luster and increases its waterproofness. Just wipe the dirty things with water. Generally use shoe wax for maintenance. There is also special shoe wax for suede leather, which is not seen in China. Nikwax is the most famous brand. The most important thing is the sole. The soles of real shoes are exquisitely made. They are usually called outsole and midsole in English. The outsole usually uses a relatively good hard rubber sole, and Viabrem from Italy is the best rubber. Rubber, good strength, wear resistance, good elasticity. There are several types of insoles, including foam materials, which are light and elastic, but not strong enough, and elastic rubber, which is heavier and has good strength. Each has pros and cons. Usually there are different choices for different uses. In addition to the material of the sole, the texture on the sole is also very particular. If the texture on the sole is like Jiefang shoes, it is probably fake. In addition to the outsole and insole, the insole inside the shoe is usually made of foam material, so it is very Elasticity, if you have compared the genuine New Balance brand with the fake brands on the street, you will know the difference between the insoles and soles. One is hard and the other is strong and elastic. One feels like the bones of an old man, and the other feels like the muscles of a young man.

When buying outdoor shoes, they are mainly for use, not for show, so the inner quality is the most important. (Learned from Baidu) The materials used in fake shoes will definitely be different from real shoes. This is very important because the reason why real shoes are They are expensive. In addition to the advertising and development expenses for their own brand, the materials used in the shoes themselves are indeed very expensive. Fake shoes will never be imitated. Generally, developers of fake shoes will find materials that are the same as those used in real shoes. Materials with the same texture and properties but much different grades are used to imitate real shoes. If you don’t know the material, you can check it out. NIKE upper materials are generally used for basketball shoes and artificial leather for running shoes. They use microfiber PU. Although they are not genuine leather, the fiber density they contain is higher than that of genuine leather. Their toughness and breathability are better than genuine leather and they are not easily deformed. Therefore, good artificial leather materials are more expensive and better than genuine leather. Generally, simulated shoes are We do not use high-quality artificial leather or microfiber PU to make shoes. The way to tell is to look at the glossiness of the material. Materials with higher gloss are real shoes. You can also squeeze or stretch the upper leather with your hands to feel whether it is smooth. It has toughness and elasticity. Some processes of the upper, such as hot-cut micro-injection, etc., are definitely made of TPU, while most fake shoes are made of PVC. The two are the same in appearance, but the material cost of TPU is higher. PVC has high softness and good stretchability. This is not the case with PVC. This material has no elasticity and softness, and is not good for winter wear. It is also prone to breakage. The shape of the shoes and the direction of some lines are also different between real shoes and fake shoes. There is a difference. Since the pattern makers who make real shoes and the price shoes are different developers, the lasts used for the shoes and the patterns they create are definitely different from the real shoes, so the shoe shape of the real shoes is used. Compared with the fake shoes, the shoe shape is definitely different, and there will be many differences between the real shoes and the fake shoes in the direction of some lines of the shoes due to the different versions created by the pattern maker. The soles of the shoes during the molding process Shoes are first made with the surface turned and then put on the last and then attached to the sole. Therefore, attaching the sole is also the last process in the shoe molding. Since the sole attaching workers in factories that process big brands have very high standards as well as the factories, the sole attaching is completed. Most of the shoes have neat soles and the glue will not climb onto the uppers, making them very comfortable to look at. If the soles are uneven or the glue creeps onto the uppers, big brands will usually not pass the inspection. They will label them as B products and sell them to their own employees, while fake shoes will be sold with any sticker on them because they are not of their own brand. The online shoes are not the same as those in specialty stores because the price difference is too big, so it is impossible to compare them with specialty stores. The stores sell exactly the same shoes, because you can get some genuine shoes through individual channels, but the quantity is definitely not very large. They are just batches. (Sometimes some shopping friends ask me which shoes I will buy when I buy them. , I can only shake my head, because it is not like other wholesale markets. If genuine shoes are so easy to get, what are the stores doing?) There is also the issue of hang tags and shoe boxes. If you are the boss of NIKE or ADIDAS , would you sell your inventory of shoes to others, including boxes and tags? (Not to agents. If the shoes are sold to agents, then 80% of the shoes online will be imitations.) Some companies manage It's not very strict. You can also get the original box and tag, but that's a minority. So buyers don't believe it. If it doesn't have a tag or a box, it's fake. If it has a box and a tag, it's real.
