Many women buy a shoe thinking it's genuine leather, and after a while discover it's <strong>Synthetic leather<\/strong> low quality. The difference between the two is big, especially in comfort, ventilation, and durability.<br>In this article we'll teach you <strong>the easiest ways to tell genuine leather from synthetic<\/strong> before you spend your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First: touch... the difference is very clear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine leather has a different texture from synthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genuine leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A soft texture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similar to human skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has small pores<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Synthetic leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Too smooth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stiff or plastic-like<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has no pores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its shape is fixed and doesn't change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try pressing with your fingers, genuine leather moves and returns naturally, but synthetic stays stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second: the smell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The smell of genuine leather is familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genuine leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A warm, distinctive smell<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The smell of genuine leather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Synthetic leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A smell of plastic or chemicals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sometimes strong and unpleasant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you smell plastic \u2190 it's probably synthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third: pores and grain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine leather has an uneven pattern, and that's one of the most important secrets to identifying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genuine leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Its pores don't repeat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has light grain lines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its shape is natural and varied<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Synthetic leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Repeating pores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uniform shape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fixed pattern as if printed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any repeating pattern = probably synthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fourth: the leather's flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine leather is flexible and shapes itself to the foot over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test it like this:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bend the shoe a little<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it returns to its natural shape easily \u2190 genuine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it's stiff or creaks \u2190 synthetic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine leather moves without cracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fifth: water absorption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the quickest and simplest tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The experiment:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place a very small drop of water on the shoe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The result:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Genuine leather<\/strong> Absorbs the water slowly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Synthetic leather<\/strong> Repels the water immediately<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don't do this if you plan to return the shoe, try it on a small edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sixth: the logical price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the price is too low... it's probably <strong>Not genuine leather<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genuine leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More expensive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lasts longer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worth the price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Synthetic leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cheap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short lifespan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its shape changes quickly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A low price isn't always a good deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seventh: the stitching reveals everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine leather shoes usually have more precise stitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genuine leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smooth stitching<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Durable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Synthetic leather:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quick stitching<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uneven<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can fall apart quickly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the stitching is weak, the material is probably weak too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eighth: the weight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine leather is usually <strong>a bit heavier<\/strong> than synthetic, because of the material's density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Genuine leather \u2190 stable, comfortable weight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Synthetic leather \u2190 too light or lightweight plastic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is another factor that helps you notice the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Telling genuine leather from synthetic isn't hard, but it requires attention to a few simple details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2714\ufe0f The touch<br>\u2714\ufe0f The smell<br>\u2714\ufe0f The pores<br>\u2714\ufe0f The flexibility<br>\u2714\ufe0f The water test<br>\u2714\ufe0f The stitching<br>\u2714\ufe0f The price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine leather shoes last longer, look more elegant, and most importantly, they're <strong>very comfortable for everyday use<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u05de\u05d1\u05d5\u05d0 \u05d1\u05d7\u05d9\u05e8\u05ea \u05d4\u05e0\u05e2\u05dc \u05d4\u05de\u05ea\u05d0\u05d9\u05de\u05d4
