  • Look for detailed heel stitching in close-up QC shots

Common Mistakes

  • Buying from unvetted sellers without reviews

QC Checklist

Request these specific checks in your QC photos before shipping:

Insole length measurement
Heel stitching alignment
Logo placement and embossing depth
Outsole material and pattern
Toe box shape consistency

Sizing & Fit Guide

Most shoes in this category use Asian sizing which runs 0.5 to 1 size smaller than US standard. Always convert using the seller's size chart, not your usual size. Request insole measurement in QC and compare to a shoe you already own.

Category FAQ

Should I ship shoes with or without the box?

Without the box saves significant shipping cost. If you want the box for collection purposes, be prepared for higher volumetric shipping fees.

How do I know if a batch is good?

Check recent reviews, look for detailed QC photos from other buyers, and compare material descriptions. Established batches usually have consistent feedback.
