Shoe quality evaluation

To identify the quality of shoes, we need to look at the appearance and internal indicators. Since internal indicators often need the help of testing instruments, it is more practical for consumers to judge the quality of shoes from the appearance. From the perspective of appearance, the quality of shoes is mainly judged by the quality and process of materials (including vamp, sole and lining). The size can be measured, and the process is mainly based on visual inspection, touching, pinching and pushing.

upper

The upper is one of the main components of shoes. As for smooth shoes, it depends on whether they are soft and plump. Check whether the surface is loose after pressing the upper by hand. A good upper should be full and soft, comfortable to handle, even luster, and no looseness on the surface. For the upper of suede shoes, pay attention to check whether the fluff is short and uniform, and the color should be consistent. The lining is a part of the upper, which is used to strengthen the upper, prevent the upper from stretching and deformation, and improve the feel of the foot. Therefore, good lining materials (such as leather lining) should have good touch, permeability and moisture removal, and not easy to decolor. When sewing, there should be no wrinkles or fat edges on the shoes.

Insole

Usually, men's shoes use the back half of the insole or heel pad. Women's shoes cover the insole with complete padding. The insole can keep the insole clean, cover the unevenness of the insole, and improve the foot feeling. Therefore, the insole should have good moisture absorption and drainage performance. In terms of workmanship, the insole should be flat on the insole without wrinkles.

Outsole

From the appearance, the bonding state around the outsole should be tight without gaps, and the bottom surface should be flat.

follow

Whether it is a low heel or a high heel, the first thing to see if it is naturally flush with the shoes. For women's shoes with half high heels and above, the following two points are more important: first, the heel should be firmly installed on the insole, without swinging from side to side; Second, the palm surface should not be smaller than the heel surface.

Insole

On the one hand, look at the materials of the insole. It's better to use genuine leather. On the other hand, pressing the waist protector with your hand is equivalent to the part of the instep when wearing shoes. It is better not to move. Under the action of this force, if there is deformation at the opening of the toe cap, it indicates that there is a problem with the quality of the shoe.

stable

Put the shoes on a flat surface, and the shoes should be stationary immediately. Such shoes have good stability, which is one of the basic conditions for high-quality shoes.
