Calfskins open skin over a dozen years old cattle, good skin, toughness, but the pores are smaller and thicker. Shoe cream,shoe cleaning

Calfskin calf two to three years old, the pores are smaller than the big cows, strong pull but the price is higher. With shoe cream, shoe polish is clean.

Sheepskin sheepskin is thicker and has a concave-convex surface. The pores are larger than cowskin and are neatly arranged. With shoe cream, shoe polish is clean.

The lambskin leather is thin and the pores are easy to color, so the colors are bright and there are more colors to choose from. With shoe cream, shoe polish is clean.

On the back of cow hide leather, it turns into a tanned skin with acid and sanding. Dry brush with sand gel brush, can not use water and shoe polish, frosted spray available.

On the back of sheep's leather sheepskin, the texture is thin, and the surface is silky, like shammy, with shaqin brush and dry brush, no water and shoe polish, etc.

The whetstone is mostly thick, coarse cowhide milled to the surface, and the surface is more slippery than the skin. Dry brush with sand gel brush, can not use water and shoe polish, frosted spray available.

Most of the patent leather is leather, and a thin layer of glue is brushed on the surface, which is more smooth but affects the elasticity and air permeability of the leather. Use a semi-wet cloth or transparent shoe polish to clean.

The wrinkled leather is the same as the patent leather, but the roller is used to make the paint wrinkle and the leather is softer than the paint. Use a semi-wet cloth or transparent shoe polish to clean.

The printed fake skin is mostly leather, and the pattern is pressed out after the epidermis scans. Use a semi-wet cloth or transparent shoe polish to clean.

Leather is mostly leather, with a few layers of shoe polish to smooth the surface, invisible pores, smooth surface, uniform color, but affect the elasticity of leather.

Semi-wet cloth or transparent shoe polish is clean.

The oil skin is mostly made of big cattle or buffalo leather. The skin is thicker and the color has a sense of yin and yang. There is no need to use shoes. With shoe cream, shoe polish is clean.

How to identify the quality of leather shoes?

To determine the quality of a pair of leather shoes, you need to look at both the appearance and the internal indicators. Since the internal indicators often need to use detection equipment, it is more practical for a consumer to identify the quality of leather shoes from the appearance. From the aspect of appearance, the quality of the leather shoes is mainly determined by the quality of the material of the leather shoes (including the upper, the sole, and the shoe) and the performance of the work.

(1) Upper (upper): The upper is one of the main components of leather shoes. For glossy shoes, it depends on whether it is soft and plump. After the hand presses on the upper, whether the loose surface phenomenon occurs. A good upper should be plump and soft, feel comfortable, uniform in gloss, and free from looseness. For the uppers of suede shoes, attention should be paid to checking whether the hairiness is short and even, and the color tone should be the same. The shoe is part of the upper, it is used to reinforce the upper, prevent the upper deformation and improve the sense of the foot. . Therefore, good materials in shoes (such as real leather shoes) should have good touch, breathability, and wet humidity, and not easy to decolorize. In the sewing, there should be no wrinkles and fat edges in the shoes.

(2) Insole: Normal men's leather shoes use insole rear half pad or heel pad. Women's leather shoes are covered with a full pad that covers the insole. The insole has the function of keeping the insole clean and covering the unevenness of the insole to improve the feeling of the foot. Therefore, the insole should have good suction and drainage moisture. In doing work, the insole should be flatly adhered to the insole, and there should be no crumple.

(3) Outsole: From the outside, the state of bonding around the outsole should be closely bonded with no gaps, and the bottom should be flat.

(4) Footwear: Whether it is low-heeled or high-heeled, the first thing to look for is whether the cooperation with leather shoes is natural. For women's leather shoes with half high heels, the following two points are more important: First, the heel should be firmly installed on the inner bottom, and should not be shaken while moving forward and backward; second, the heel should not be smaller than the heel. Underside.

(5) Insole: Look at the material of the insole, the best leather. On the other hand, it is necessary to strongly press the lumbosacral by hand, which is equivalent to the part of the instep when the shoes are worn, and the silk is not moving well. Under the effect of this force, if the edge of leather shoes is deformed, it indicates that the quality of the shoe is problematic.

(6) Stability: The leather shoes should be placed on the flat surface. The leather shoes should stand still immediately. This kind of leather shoes has good stability, which is also one of the basic conditions for high-quality leather shoes.

(7) Side inspection: Put the shoes on the plane, the outer sole (forefoot) of the leather shoes and the plane contact point should be in the middle, and the toe should have appropriate warping head, the heel should be straight and the bottom should be completely on the plane.

(8) Frontal inspection: Look at the same height as the outsole to see if there are differences in the out-of-bottom inner-outer warpage dimensions. It should be basically consistent and balanced.

(9): Check from the back: The heel should be straight and the back stitches should be straight.

(10) Comparison of two shoes: After completing the above aspects of inspection, it is necessary to carefully compare the length, height and shape of the two shoes, whether they are consistent or symmetrical, and whether the brightness and color are the same.

In the case of no dirt on the shoe, it starts to rub the oil, and it can keep the color and brightness of the shoes well. After wearing it, you need to shoehorn once every two to three days.

(1) Remove the dirt and dirt from the sole of the shoe and use a brush to carefully brush off the dust between the stitching and the shoelace.

(2) Using the cloth on the fingers of the lane, remove some dirt remover, and use a little force to wipe away dirt from the upper and applied shoe polish.

New shoes don't rub feet

The new shoes are easy to grind after the heel, this is mainly because the last process of China's shoe-making process generally requires the rear heel to be clipped, so that the heel shape is sharp-angled, and the back heel of the shoe is usually the suture of two pieces of leather. To make the rear not smooth, a slight gap between the feet and the shoes can easily wear the heel. Therefore, feel the new shoes that may be worn. You may wish to knead the heel before you wear it. Second, grind the leather at the seam with a small file. Then, use a hammer to make the back of the shoe more affixed. When you wear new shoes this way, you can avoid the pain of the skin.

How to protect frosted shoes

Shoes common sense

1, the quality of leather shoes outsole how to distinguish

The outer sole materials of leather shoes include: lemon gum, polyurethane, modified polyvinyl chloride, and so on. The folding endurance, abrasion resistance, and hardness of the outer end of the leather shoes in the national standard of the leather shoes have been specified, and the folding and abrasion resistance testing machine is used. And hardness test to test. Select shoes with your fingers pressing the soles should be flexible, there is no small pieces off the end of the hand rubbing, feels sticky, flexible when bent is better. At present, the quality of outsoles in the rubber rubber shoes is more problematic, and the phenomena of fracture and lump shedding occur from time to time. This is due to the fact that the profit of the shoe sole production plant disregards the quality of the product and the amount of rubber contained in the rubber sole is low, so reclaimed rubber and other fillers are used. Excessive, so that the quality of soles.

2, What is the function of leather shoes steel hook? How to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages

Each male and female leather shoe has a steel hook (except for flat shoes and wedge shoes). It is installed between the outer sole and midsole of the sole of the foot (loin window). It is the backbone of the shoe and keeps the curvature of the bottom and Stabilizing the heel function, the middle and high heels are particularly important. Leather shoe steel heart standard Huai provides longitudinal bending stiffness and hardness and other performance indicators. When picking a shoe, you can use your hand to press hard on the inner sole of the shoe. If the shoe is worn, you may find that the heel is skewed (not nails are not firm) and the heart is empty or uncomfortable. Check whether the heart is broken. If the break in the three-period period, can be returned.

3, why shoes open plastic

Adhesive shoes upper and bottom adhesives are not easy to open, but plastics are more common. There are many reasons for opening the rubber. The main reason is the selection of factory raw materials and inappropriate process control. The rubber sole and the leather can be adhered by using neoprene, and the imitation leather base and the polyurethane base containing more resin components are difficult to be effective, and the polyurethane finger glue or other adhesive must be used instead of sticking, because an adhesive does not Suitable for any material. Before bonding, it is necessary to polish the soles and uppers, brush and bake them several times, and press them together with a press to stick. The adhesion of leather shoes is controlled by peeling strength indicators. The index is measured with a peel tester. When selecting the shoes, check whether the bottom and the bottom of the adhesive are firm, whether the plastic is open or not, and be careful when it is used. When the shoes are in contact with water, they are easy to open.

4, using cardboard as the bottom, reliable quality

In the past, insoles were made from pigs and cows. Natural leather resources are now reduced. Alternative materials are used to replace certain natural materials. For example, footwear insole board is widely used at home and abroad. The moisture absorption, air permeability, resistance to flexion, interlayer peeling strength, tear resistance, and dimensional stability of insole board for good quality shoes can fully meet the requirements of use, such as breakage, shrinkage, deformation of the inner bottom board after wearing. From the hard, stratified, etc. are of unqualified quality.

5. What are the quality requirements for the main heel and Baotou?

The main heel position is at the back and bottom of the leather shoes. The front cover of the shoes is wrapped around the front of the shoes. They are all designed so that the shoes are not deformed. They should be installed on the uppers and shoes.
