Old Shoes Become "Old Shoes"?
In recent years, an old shoe designed for the elderly has begun to become popular in the market. Compared with ordinary shoes, when businessmen publicize elderly shoes, they cater to the characteristics of feet and clothing needs of the elderly. They are mainly lightweight, soft, skid resistant and durable, and are bombed by advertisements.
However, the elderly shoes in the market are not as "lighter and more durable" than the businessmen say. The Federation of the Yangtze River Delta Consumer Protection Commission has found that nearly 20% of the elderly shoes have been degumming and breaking, many of which are famous brands.

Reporters on some business platform, as long as the search for "elderly shoes", the page immediately popped out thousands of products, all kinds of brands dazzled, claiming to have comfortable, lightweight, skid proof, warmth and other functions, the price ranging from tens of dollars to thousands of dollars, and in some media, the elderly shoe ads are endless.
Tao Ailian, deputy director and Secretary General of Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee,
Businesses will have many selling points, such as light, soft, anti skid, comfortable, and so on become a selling point for businesses. Is it true that the softer the better, the lighter the better, or the higher the coefficient of friction, the less likely it is for the elderly.
Recently, the Federation of Yangtze River Delta Consumer Protection Committee made a comparative test, testing the performance of the old shoes such as folding, wear resistance and skid resistance. The results show that nearly 2 of the elderly shoes have been degumming and breaking.
Gu Rongyi, director of the laboratory of Shanghai leather quality testing technology center, said: the wear resistance tester is testing the wear resistance of the sole.
When we put our shoes on the equipment, we use the vernier caliper to measure the wear marks. The length of the grinding marks is 16.7 millimeters, which exceeds the technical requirements of the standard length of the standard foam material for the sneakers. This is a pair of unqualified samples.
Tao Ailian, deputy director and Secretary General of Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee,
Judging from the testing situation, for example, light, indeed, we have some shoes that are very light this time. The lightest pair of shoes is so heavy as two eggs, but from the professional interpretation, the weight of the shoes is not necessarily related to the quality of the shoes themselves.
The first national shoe group standard for the elderly
"Rules" for shoe companies
As the state and industry did not introduce product standards for elderly shoes, this has also led to bad products. In order to improve the quality of shoes produced by enterprises, the Federation of Yangtze River Delta Consumer Protection Committee recently released the first group of elderly footwear standards in the country to set rules for elderly shoes.
Recently, the Federation of Yangtze River Delta Consumer Protection Commission commissioned the Shanghai Leather Technology Association to set up the group standard of "elderly shoes". Besides making explicit requirements for the wear-resisting and folding resistance and adhesion strength of shoes, combined with the characteristics of the elderly, it has increased the requirement that the elderly shoes should not be allowed to have touches.
Tao Ailian, deputy director and Secretary General of Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee,
It involves some safe formaldehyde, six valent chromium, and so on, and also has parameters specially for examination. In addition, this standard pays more attention to the functional concerns of the elderly, such as soft, light and skid resistance, so that some parameters and assessment techniques are reflected in this standard.
In the interview, the reporter learned that there were 1783 old shoe manufacturers in the Yangtze River Delta in 2014, and 3592 by March 2018, the number doubled. At present, more than 50 enterprises have undertaken to implement this group standard.
Experts suggest that when buying shoes for old people, they should not overly pursue soft and soft ones. Besides, if new shoes are pungent, they may be related to harmful chemicals in shoes.
Tian Xiaolei, staff member of Shanghai leather quality testing technology center,
The shoes are held on the hands, so that if the shoes are too easy to deform, this pair of shoes is too soft.
We can stretch our hands into the shoes and press the front palm to see if the forefoot is too thin, too thin.
The heel is the main buffer and shock absorber part of our walking process, but we can not simply pursue the softness and good resilience to ensure the durable cushioning and cushioning performance.
