How To Understand The Material Of Shoes

Most people buy shoes first to see whether the appearance of the shoes is fashionable or not, but how many people know how good a pair of shoes is and how much health they can bring to our bodies. In particular, the material of shoes is a lot of attention. Today, let's know something about it.

　　 Genuine leather shoes

There are many kinds of outsole for genuine leather shoes. The main raw materials can be divided into imitation leather base, rubber bottom, plastic bottom and so on. Different kinds of materials have different properties. Like rubber soles, they are soft, elastic, skid resistant, wear resistant, heat-resistant and cold resistant. But it has a heavier texture. The imitation leather sole is light, stiff, wearable and resistant to twists and turns. But the elasticity is poor and not too slippery. Plastic sole has good abrasion resistance and elasticity. But its texture is hard, and its heat resistance and cold resistance are not very good.

　　 How to distinguish genuine and fake leather shoes

The real leather in genuine leather shoes refers to the natural leather made from animal skin. Fake leather refers to synthetic leather or other similar leather, which is actually synthesized by basic chemical raw materials. The structure of natural leather is very complex. It is extremely difficult or even impossible to make it seamlessly. Sometimes fake leather will be "false and true". The real and fake leather can be distinguished by the following methods:

1, the shape of natural leather is very irregular, and the thickness is uneven. Its surface is often more or less, or light or heavy. There are some natural defects. Its surface is smooth and meticulous, and the side surface is loose. The synthetic leather has uniform thickness, smooth surface, no natural defects, its pores and patterns are very uniform, and leather has no pile.

2. Leather finished products It is difficult to distinguish between true and false leather, especially the leather products with small area, tight structure and invisible inside. The methods for identifying these products are to look at the appearance first, the texture is uniform, there is no disability, no coarse grain, and no defects may be artificial leather; and the texture of the leather has some differences, especially the difference of the combination of the main and secondary parts of leather products should be obvious. Carefully observe the distribution and shape of pores; natural leather holes are deep and deep; they should not be seen at the bottom and slightly tilted; but the pores that are vertical and vertical may be synthetic leather modified leather. In addition, from the cross section, the cross section fibers of natural leather have their own characteristics, and the thickness of each layer varies. The fibers of synthetic leather are basically uniform, with a plastic film on the surface.

3. Dripping test: water absorption is obvious for natural leather, otherwise it may be artificial leather.
