How to identify the authenticity of cowhide shoes, how to identify cowhide shoes

At its simplest, the nail can be identified (non-professional).

The oldest method, burned with a lighter (non-professional).

Method 1: The leather surface will have fine wrinkles when pressed by hand, the leather is relatively smooth, the leather before and after the workmanship is not the same, the front is good, the back is poor, and the front and rear surfaces of the leather look the same;

Method 2: 1. Look at the logo, the leather logo is a bit like a bow;

2. Look at the price, generally cheap is genuine leather, unless it is inferior leather;

3. Smell with your nose, the dermis smells bad, and the leather smells plastic;

4. With your eyes, the leather has regular pores, and the leather of the two shoes has a difference between good and bad, but there is no leather;

5. Touch it with your hands, the cowhide is harder, it will wrinkle around when pressed, loosen it to restore its original state, and the leather is softer and will not wrinkle;

Method 3: 1. Judging from the taste, the taste of the cowhide is a little fishy, and the leather is stinky;

2. From the perspective of the texture of the shoes, the leather shoes have irregular textures, while the leather ones are more regular;

3. From the pores, the pores of the leather are irregular, and the artificial leather is very regular.

Press: Gently press the upper of the leather shoe with your fingers, usually the toe upper, the upper will be wrinkled under pressure, and then close the fingers, if it is leather, the folds of the upper are slow to return to flattening, and the speed of recovery is first fast and then slow, and finally it will still leave a slight, irregular shallow mark. If it is not genuine leather, the folds of the upper will be immediate.

Look: Open the upper of the leather shoe, carefully look at the cut marks on the edge of the upper, because the leather is divided into two layers, the surface layer is the smooth layer on the outside, the inner layer is fibrous, and the two layers of leather are not obvious color difference.

Smell: Dermis has almost no smell

Method 1: There will be fine wrinkles on the leather surface when pressed by hand, and the leather will be smoother.

Method 2: 1. Look at the logo, the leather logo is like a bow;

2. Look at the price, the cheap one cannot be genuine leather, unless it is inferior leather;

3. Smell with your nose, the dermis smells bad, and the leather smells plastic;

4. With your eyes, the leather has regular pores, and the leather of the two shoes has a difference between good and bad, but there is no leather;

5. Touch it with your hands, the cowhide is harder, it will wrinkle around when pressed, loosen it to restore its original state, and the leather is softer and will not wrinkle;

Method 3: 1. Judging from the taste, the taste of the cowhide is a little fishy, and the leather is stinky.

2. From the perspective of the texture of the shoes, the leather shoes are irregular, while the leather is more regular.

3. From the pores, the pores of the leather are irregular, and the artificial leather is very regular.

1. The shape of natural cow leather is irregular, the thickness is uneven, its surface is often more or less, light or heavy, there are some natural defects, its surface is smooth and meticulous to varying degrees, the general side of the abdomen is relaxed, the whole material leather has obvious pores and patterns, and there are generally piles in the leather.

The synthetic leather has a uniform thickness, a smooth surface, no natural defects, its pores and patterns are also very uniform, and there is generally no pile in the leather.

2. Put the shoe in your hand, and use your fingers to press the edge of the upper close to the sole, and you will find that no matter how good the cowhide is, there will always be some fine uneven distribution wrinkles when pressed down. It's just that there are fewer wrinkles in high-quality cowhide, and there are more wrinkles in next-grade cowhide. When the finger is released, the wrinkle disappears on its own.

3. Combustion identification method: mainly to smell the smell of burnt smell and look at the state of ashes, natural leather will emit a smell of burning hair when burning, the burned ashes are generally fragile into powder, and artificial leather, the flame is also stronger after burning, shrinks rapidly, and has a very bad smell of plastic, sticky after burning, and will become hard and lumpy after cooling.

4. Odor identification method: natural leather has a strong smell of fur, even after treatment, the taste is more obvious, while artificial leather products have a taste of plastic, no smell of fur.

5. Tensile and elasticity test: natural leather has good elasticity and tensile force, otherwise it is artificial leather. The ductility of the first layer of cowhide is very good, and a long first layer of cowhide can be pulled to it with a gentle pull, and the pulling rate can be reached.

6. Blowing test: It can be aimed at the reverse side of the leather with saliva blowing, and leakage occurs on the front, precisely because the leather has this "anti-reverse performance".

Real cowhide leather refers to natural leather, which is processed from animal skin. Fake leather refers to synthetic leather or other products that resemble genuine leather, which are actually synthesized from basic chemical raw materials. The structure of natural leather is very complex, and it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to produce it artificially and seamlessly under the current conditions.

When I bought it, I looked at the leather exposed next to the zipper and smelled it, and the leather smelled good, not like leather shoes.

How can I easily and directly tell if a leather shoe is cowhide?

The leather feels elastic, and the leather front will be about 90 degrees downward, and there will be natural wrinkles in the front of the leather, bending different parts respectively, and the thickness and number of folds produced are obviously uneven, which can basically be identified as genuine leather, because the dermis has a natural fibrous tissue structure. Artificial leather feels like plastic, with poor recovery, and the thickness and thickness of the folds are similar when bent in all directions. Odor Identification Method:

Natural leather has a strong smell of fur, and even after treatment, the taste is more pronounced; Artificial leather and synthetic leather products have a plastic smell and no fur smell. Combustion Identification Method:

Take a small sample and burn it with fire, mainly to smell the smell of burnt and see the state of ashes. When natural leather is burned, it emits a burning smell of hair, and the burned strand is fragile into powder; The artificial leather, synthetic leather, and recycled leather, when burning, the flame is stronger, the shrinkage is rapid, and there is a bad smell of plastic, which is sticky after burning, and will become hard and lumpy after cooling.

1. Look at the appearance: leather shoes are generally finely made, elegant, bright in color, and the overall look feels high-end; The leather shoes made of imitation leather are generally poorly made, with low gloss or even dull, and the overall feeling is low-grade.

2. Look at fine lines: This is the method taught by my mother, and the accuracy rate can be described as 100. That is, after taking the leather shoes, press the edge of the upper close to the sole with your fingers, and if it is cowhide, fine wrinkles will appear.

Once the finger is released, the wrinkles will disappear naturally. In the case of synthetic leather or other fake materials, this phenomenon does not occur.

3. Smell the smell: fake leather shoes generally have a more nasal smell of artificial leather or rubber, real cowhide will have a natural cowhide smell with the nose, and will not scratch the nose, and some people will especially like this smell.

4. Breathability: Leather shoes have good air permeability, and they will not smell their feet even if they sweat, while wearing shoes made of fake leather, the foot odor is more obvious, especially when they sweat.

5. Comfort: Wear leather shoes of the right size, wear comfortable and do not squeeze your feet, it will protect your feet well according to the shape of your feet, even if you walk for a long time, there will be no pain, and fake leather will have uncomfortable and painful squeezing.

In the shopping mall, there is a method called "one press, two looks, three smells".

One pressure: lightly press the upper of the leather shoe with your fingers, usually the toe upper, the upper will be wrinkled under pressure, and then close the fingers, if it is leather, the folds of the upper are slow to return to flattening, and the speed of recovery is first fast and then slow, and finally it will still leave a slight and irregular shallow mark. If it is not genuine leather, the folds of the upper will be restored immediately, and the speed of recovery is uniform and fast, usually does not leave marks, even if there are traces, the traces are very regular and even, and even some artificial leather deliberately creates some textures on it when making, and these textures look rigid.

Second look: open the upper of the leather shoes, carefully look at the cut marks on the edge of the upper, because the leather is divided into two layers, the surface is the outer smooth layer, the inner layer is fibrous, the two layers of leather are not obvious color difference, fake leather is usually taken from the inner layer of the leather, and then covered with artificial leather as the surface, so there will be color difference, but many leather shoes have been covered with the edge, not necessarily visible.

Three smells: Genuine leather has almost no smell, or has a faint smell of leather, while fake leather has a heavier smell of paint, and the stronger the smell, the more fake the skin is.

Cowhide: The pores of the cowhide surface are small, round, evenly distributed and tight, the leather surface is bright and smooth, the texture is plump and delicate, the appearance is flat and soft, and the texture is firm and elastic when touched by hand. When selecting, if you squeeze the leather surface hard, there will be small folds.

Leather products made from cowhide can hardly be seen if you don't look closely.

Identification of the dermis.

The methods are divided into: Sight: there are fine pores, irregular fibers at the bottom of the skin, and smell: there is a cortical odor.

Hand touch: Smooth, soft and elastic to the touch.

Fire: Tear off a little fiber from the back of real leather and artificial leather, and after ignition, any artificial leather that emits a pungent smell and forms pimples is artificial leather; Anything that smells like hair and doesn't pick up hard bumps is dermis.

Now a lot of artificial leather comes out. It can be fakeIt is better to buy branded leather shoes. Quality***.

It is true that it is burned with fire, and it cannot be burned. The opposite is false.
