How to identify high-quality printed artificial leather shoes?

Identifying high-quality printed artificial leather shoes requires comprehensive consideration of appearance, texture, smell, water absorption, creases and resilience, as well as certification and labeling.

1. Observe the appearance
Texture and pores: The surface texture and pores of high-quality printed artificial leather shoes should be simulated more naturally. Although the pores and lines of artificial leather are artificially arranged, high-quality products will strive to be similar to genuine leather, with uneven pore sizes and uneven distribution, and natural and smooth texture.
Color and gloss: High-quality printed artificial leather shoes have uniform color and natural gloss, and will not be too glaring or dull. At the same time, its color fastness is good and it is not easy to fade.

2. Touch texture
Softness and elasticity: High-quality printed artificial leather shoes are soft and elastic to the touch, similar to the texture of genuine leather. In contrast, inferior artificial leather may appear stiff or too smooth.
Roughness: Real animal leather will feel a certain roughness, and high-quality printed artificial leather will try to simulate this effect. Although it is not as obvious as genuine leather, it will not be too smooth.

3. Smell the smell
High-quality printed artificial leather shoes should have a light or no odor. Since artificial leather is made of chemicals, if the smell is too strong or pungent, it may be a low-quality product.

4. Test water absorption
Prepare some clean water, dip chopsticks in clean water and drop it on the leather, let it stand for about one or two minutes, and observe the water absorption of the leather. High-quality printed artificial leather shoes should have moderate water absorption, neither too fast nor too slow. If the water absorption of the leather is not strong, it may be low-quality artificial leather.

5. Check creases and resilience
Crease: When folding the leather, high-quality printed artificial leather shoes will show obvious creases, but the creases will dissipate quickly, showing good resilience. In contrast, low-quality artificial leather creases may not be obvious or have poor resilience.
Wear resistance: High-quality printed artificial leather shoes should have good wear resistance. After repeated friction or long-term use, the surface coating will not peel off or expose the base fabric.

6. Check certification and labels
When purchasing, you can check whether the product has passed relevant quality certifications, such as ISO certification, environmental certification, etc. At the same time, you can also check the product label to understand its material, origin and other information. High-quality products usually provide detailed and accurate information.
