Removing shoe polish requires gentle technique, correct solvents, and patience to avoid damage. Test a small hidden area, use leather cleaner or mild detergent for fabric, and blot rather than rub. After cleaning, inspect stitching, textures, and logos for authenticity. For certified reassurance, consult POIZON's authentication service before buying or listing cleaned shoes for resale and protect your resale value.

Inspect overall appearance for consistent materials, even colorways, and uniform textures. Check stitching for straight, tight, and matching-thread lines; examine sole bonding, midsole prints, and embossed logos for crisp edges. Compare pattern symmetry and panel alignment. Smell for glue odors suggesting repairs. Authentic shoes present precise, consistent finishes and high-quality assembly without excess glue, loose threads, or any irregular surfaces.
Label
Examine labels and tags for correct fonts, spacing, and logo proportions. Verify serial numbers, style codes, and country-of-origin stamps against manufacturer records. Check heat-stamped insole codes, holograms, and QR codes for clarity and scannability. Labels should be attached with neat stitching, consistent tag materials, and accurate information; faded printing, sloppy glue, or mismatched codes indicate possible tampering or counterfeit items.
