Children's Shoes Industry Has Undergone Great Changes, And 3 Of Shoes Enterprises Have Been Eliminated.

The China Consumers' Association announced the results of the comparative test on children's shoes worn by children aged 3 to 14. Comparative tests showed that 19 Sample of children's shoes The indicators for safety are all qualified, and the performance of some shoes, such as marking, folding resistance, outsole hardness, hook hardness, odor and other indicators, do not meet national standards.

　　
It is understood that a total of 19 samples of children's shoes produced by 18 enterprises were sampled. Comparative test results showed that 19 samples, including safety indicators such as free formaldehyde, decomposable aromatic amine dyes, extractable heavy metals in leather, such as arsenic, cadmium and lead, all conform to national standards. Physical performance indexes, such as peel strength and wear resistance, all conform to the standard requirements. Of the 19 samples, 10 of the items met the standard, and 9 samples failed to meet the standard.

　　
"Such a high rate of failure is very abnormal, but also strengthened our improvement. Children's shoes The determination of standards. Many new standards will be implemented this year to strengthen the supervision of children's shoes quality. Tian Mei, executive vice president of China leather and footwear industry research institute, said in an interview with reporters.

　　
It is reported that the new standard is Fabric for children's shoes There will be higher requirements for technology and strength. Industry experts believe that the threshold of new standards will lead to 3 of enterprises being eliminated, and the whole industry will also undergo major changes.

　　
Product problems

　　
Reporters learned from the website of the China Consumers Association that the sampling test reflects Children's shoes products Many problems. In terms of marking, there are four problems in children's shoes, mainly because they do not label Chinese shoes or not.

　　
In this comparative test, there are five samples that fail to meet the standard. The folding resistance is the index to indicate whether the sole of shoes is easy to break, whether the surface material is prone to crack, crack and the flexing part of the bottom.

　　
There are three samples for hardness problems. Children shoe soles It is necessary to have proper hardness and thickness. Too hard and too thick soles are not conducive to the bending of the soles. The soft soles can not support the sole of the feet. It is easy for the children to feel tired.

　　
According to QB/T2880-2007's "children's leather shoes" standard, shoes smell is divided into 5 grades, and the stipulation is not greater than 2 grade. In the comparative experiment, there were 4 samples with peculiar smell, but all reached the 3 level requirement.

　　
Insiders pointed out that from the results of these tests, we can see that the quality of children's shoes is still very weak in China. The focus of enterprise competition remains on the price and channels, and the quality of products is not enough.

　　
    Large market needs to be standardized

　　
According to statistics, at present, 400 million of children in China account for about 1/4 of the total population in China, and about 27 million of newborns are born each year. Such a large population base and the proportion of the population make the children's shoes market a sweet potato. However, because children's body organs, bones, joints and ligaments are in the peak period of development, a pair of good quality shoes has a great impact on children's physical and mental health. Therefore, children's shoes enterprises should pay more attention to quality control when they are producing children's shoes.

　　
Experts point out that Children's products usually Design style New, bright colors, but the formaldehyde contained in the shoe making process is harmful to the human body. The formaldehyde in children's shoes mainly comes from brightly colored dyestuffs, auxiliaries and adhesives used in children's shoes. Therefore, bright colors and printed children's shoes are generally high in formaldehyde content, and shoe companies can only maintain technical leadership in order to provide support for quality assurance.

　　
  Safety and comfort become the biggest concern.

　　
"Due to the lack of mandatory standards, the current health performance of children's shoes is not optimistic. Most children's shoes are" diminished versions "of adult sports shoes. Experts from the National Committee on standardization of footwear technology said that children's shoes manufacturers simply copied the standards of adult sports shoes, production materials, production processes and design requirements of sports shoes. He said that the skeleton of children is in the period of growth and development. The requirement of foot space is completely different from that of adult shoes. It is precisely the standard of producing "grafting" that leads to the hidden danger of quality and safety for children's shoes.

　　
"How to define a pair of children's shoes is safe and comfortable?" China Leather Association Wei Yafei, director of the shoe making office, said that when the children's shoes were tested, some of them adopted the standard of adult travel shoes, which was far from satisfying the requirement of improving the comfort of children's shoes. It is revealed that in view of the current development of children's shoes national and industrial standards, industry experts are working on a set of industry standards for children's comfort, which will change the concept of comfort and make the comfort level more clear.
