How To Identify And Maintain A Pair Of Genuine Leather Shoes?

1, how to identify

Authenticity and quality?

Sensory identification: by touching, seeing, bending, stretching and other methods.

Natural leather is extruded with thumb, with fine grain and good surface elasticity.

Leather with larger wrinkles is inferior leather. If there is no fine grain, it is not natural leather.

Yellow cattle skin: the grain is fine and the pores are arranged in irregular spots.

Buffalo skin: larger pores than yellow cattle skin and slightly thicker skin fibers.

Sheepskin: patterns are arranged in half moon shape, soft and fur, thick skinned.

Goats skin: the pattern is wavy, thick and meticulous, and the sheepskin is strong and firm.

Pigskin: the surface pattern is usually distributed in three pores. The surface is rough, soft and hard.

2, how to choose the right size.

Son:

The heel and heel are not tight enough to match well. The front tips of shoes are 5 - 10mm sharp, which can be kept 20 to 25mm.

The waist of the shoe matches the arch of the foot, and the waist must have feet.

The center of gravity of the shoe should conform to the center of gravity of the foot, and the sole of the foot is basically uniform.

If the size of shoes is not appropriate, shoes should be selected.

3. How to maintain leather shoes when they are drenched in water?

On rainy days, when the shoes are dried into the rain, remove the dirt first, suck out the moisture in the shoes, then use the desiccant (if not, use board instead) to put it into the shoes, dry it in a cool ventilated and cool place, and change the desiccant after half an hour.

After drying, apply the raw chicken oil and then polish the shoe polish again.

After two days, you can polish the shoe polish again and avoid drying and baking.

4, why should we exchange several pairs of leather shoes?

Over frequent wear will cause frequent and tortuous loads on the upper and sole.

The soles are easily worn and deformed, affecting the gait and causing the foot and foot disease.

Leather shoes have a strong ability to absorb sweat. Timely replacement of shoes can make water vapor and sweat fully distribute, and protect the physiological functions of leather shoes and feet.

The color of shoes

How to match?

Similar to hue.

For example, the red series shoes are suitable for matching with the series of warm colors such as brown, orange, yellow and so on. Elegant and implicit, Zhuang Zhong's costume should match the neutral tone shoes such as black and white, grey, dark brown, etc. the dark blue shoes should match with the cool colors such as blue, green and purple.

Different colors are legal.

As for the upper and lower clothing color contrast, should choose as close as possible to the upper color shoes.

Clothing color is deep, should choose shallow shoes.

The clothing is colourful, suitable for neutral color shoes, such as black, white, gold and silver.

How to store shoes that are not used for a while?

The leather shoes we wear are seasonal, and the leather shoes that are changed over the season should be stored and preserved.

Emphasis should be placed on moisture-proof, mildew proof and leather shoe deformation prevention.

Seasonal leather shoes should be promptly removed from dirt, sludge and dust.

If there is a crack on the vamp, it needs to be mended, and then shoe polish is carefully applied.

Shoes can not be painted too much when collecting, because shoes have certain volatile and dry bathing properties. Too much paint and long storage time result in dry skin cracking.

When you collect, you should apply a little raw chicken oil, lard or glycerin, so that the leather will remain soft and moist without deformation.

(1) moisture resistance of leather shoes.

It is mainly to put some moisture-resistant agent inside the shoe box or shoes and choose dry place to store it.

(2) leather shoes are mildew proof.

Leather shoes must be dried and shoes polish. Some camphor balls should be put in the shoes to prevent moth eaten.

Ventilation should be chosen for storage and preservation, and attention should be paid to dust-proof.

To regularly polish shoes polish, especially in the rainy season, take out a blow, if mildew spots have to use soft cloth brush to remove mildew spots, and timely polish shoe polish.

(3) worn leather shoes are more or less distorted.

Replacing it is a good time to repair the deformation.

The way to repair the deformation is to support the shoes in time. The high-grade leather shoes should be equipped with a pair of shoes which are adjusted by screws. The shoe can be used to make leather shoes as old as new; ordinary leather shoes should also be supported by tile shoe braces. Even low grade leather shoes should be filled with waste paper to make the front tips of leather shoes prop up, so as to correct and prevent leather shoes from collapsing, twisting and tilting.

In addition, it is necessary to deal with the places that need to be repaired, especially the heels are most easily worn out, so that they should be replaced in good time so that they can be worn intact with leather shoes next time.

What kinds of shoe polish are there in the market?

The general leather shoes oil is divided into three types: emulsified oil, pure oil type and liquid shoe polish.

(1) emulsified shoe polish is made of shoe polish (hose packaging) made by the British method, especially suitable for wet and rainy areas.

It is made up of three ingredients: wax, oil and water.

It has the advantages of bright, protective leather and free color matching, as well as concealing and covering the ability of leather grain damage and stain.

Therefore, it can make bright shoe polish as well as color shoe polish.

(2) pure oil shoe polish is made of shoe polish (round iron box) made of American style. Its main components are wax and oil without water, so this shoe polish is more waterproof.

Long term use of this oil will make the color of leather shoes shallower.

(3) liquid shoe polish (bottled, with small sponge brush) is made of emulsified wax and water. Some of them are mixed with a small amount of resin (because it is easy to form surface film, so it does not add resin).

This shoe polish does not need to be polished.

It only needs to be applied to shoes, which is bright, simple and fast.

This liquid shoe polish can be used in plain dark leather shoes.

The special type of shoe polish is mainly emulsified silicone oil and pparent shoe polish. Its role is mainly bright and waterproof.

In addition, there are also deer skin powder and dyed water, mainly to play the role of dyeing, specially used for suede leather shoes modification and finishing.

What should you pay attention to in addition to shoe polish?

The purpose of maintaining leather shoes is to maintain the bright colourful and consistent appearance of leather shoes, to protect leather's soft and comfortable wear performance, and to protect the feet for a long time, and to extend the service life of leather shoes.

In addition, we should pay attention to the following points.

(1) leather shoes can not be exposed to the sun and roasted with fire.

The leather shoes of leather shoes are not exposed to exposure to fire or other sources of heat because they are not exposed to exposure to the sun, because drying and baking will cause the grease inside the leather to evaporate quickly, making the leather hard and will break the broken leather fibers.

If the sweat and moisture in the shoes are heavier, they can be exposed to the sun.

(2) leather shoes should avoid being immersed in oil.

The general rubber bottom of all kinds of leather shoes is oil, because the rubber will soak and distort after soaking in oil. Although the oil resistance of the plastic bottom and rubber base is strong, it is not suitable to soak in the oil, so as not to cause adhesive shoes to be glued.

Do not overdo the overfat when supplying the upper leather, so that the grease will be pferred to the upper and sole to affect the bonding strength.

(3) leather shoes should avoid contact with acid and alkali.

Leather's durable acid base corrosion resistance is not strong, especially alkali resistant corrosion. Alkali not only destroys the coating layer on the surface of leather shoes, but also burns the fiber structure of leather.

(4) leather shoes should be moistureproof and mildew resistant.

(5) the soles and heels should be repaired to the repair department as early as possible.

Quality identification of genuine leather belt and skirt

In the market, the styles of belts are various. Basically, men's belts and children's belts are different in width and length. When choosing, they should first choose the right size according to their waist circumference.

In addition, the leather of high-grade leather is made from the back of the whole leather, so as to avoid bending deformation when it is used. Therefore, when buying, it should be looked at whether it is straight and the thickness is uniform.

(1) the general sensory examination of vegetable tanning pigs and cowhide leather waist and skirt should first check whether the strip is straight and smooth.

Whether the leather surface is defective or not, whether the color is uniform and uniform, and whether the leather pattern is clear; secondly, the waist and the skirt grain are folded to the inside, but can not be squeezed and folded to see if there is any crack, and whether the hand feels greasy.

(2) first, we should observe whether there is glue opening phenomenon on the double reinforced reinforcement waist and skirt, whether the border line is checked, whether the stitch is straight or not, whether there is a split surface phenomenon, whether there is a real leather feeling on the leather cover pattern, and whether the handle is soft and comfortable.

(3) warp knitted real belt and skirt, first of all, it is necessary to observe whether the tightness of weaving is suitable. If the knitting is too loose, it will become longer and thinner after use, and the three-dimensional sense of weaving will no longer exist.

In addition, the waist and skirt must be firmly securely fasten, and the fastness of rivet should be checked.

These are the basic requirements for evaluating the quality of waist and skirt.

What are the simple maintenance methods for wearing leather shoes?

There must be bumps and scratches in the process of wearing, and attention should be paid to repair.

The natural wear of heels should be remedied.

Some problems encountered in the process of wearing leather shoes, as well as maintenance and repair methods, are listed below.

(1) new leather shoes prevent kick.

When choosing leather shoes, they sometimes feel that they are not able to feel the slight discomfort of the shoe and the upper lip. Once they are worn, they can be found and easily blister their feet.

In such a situation, you can use a wet sponge to wrap the place where the feet are frothing. After 1 hours, remove the wet sponge, rub it up with your hands, rub the heel into the mouth to soften it, put it in a cool ventilated place and dry it; then apply a bit of raw chicken oil (animal fat) or wipe it with kernel nuts.

(2) leather shoes worn after treatment.

The leather upper of genuine leather shoes has a strong sweat absorption ability.

Therefore, after wearing leather shoes for a long time, there will be some white spots on the leather surface.

This is the salt in the sweat absorbed by the leather and the exudation of the substances contained inside the leather, which is called salting out.

Especially in rainy weather, leather shoes are wet and dry.

To treat leukoplakia: first wash the leukoplakia with alcohol or leather waste agent; then brush a layer of leather shoes oil, then drop a few drops of vinegar, brush with the shoe brush and cloth back and forth, then remove the white spots and make the old as new.

(3)

Treatment of mildew.

On the upper surface of shoes, damp spots often occur due to damp weather.

The way to deal with mildew spots is to clean the mildew spots with alcohol first, then wipe them with dry soft cloth in a few minutes, and remove mildew spots.
