Five questions for the first pair
Does the code and variant match the quoted product?
Can internal length and width be measured consistently?
Do panels, seams, sole and fastening match the specification?
Are box, accessories, pair weight and carton assumptions clear?
Length first
Shoe labels need a measurement system
Record the size label, regional system and internal or insole length. Ask where the measurement begins and ends. A conversion chart without a defined length may simply move the ambiguity into another column.
Men's and women's ranges can use different lasts or sizing assumptions. Do not merge them just because the printed number looks similar.
Use-based shelves
The activity changes the evidence
| Shoe type | Extra questions |
|---|---|
| Everyday sneakers | Upper, cushioning statement, sole pattern, flex points and daily-use fit. |
| Running shoes | Weight, heel-to-toe structure, outsole zones and stated intended use. |
| Basketball shoes | Ankle structure, traction view, fastening and weight. |
| Casual shoes | Upper finish, lining, flexibility and everyday sizing. |
| Leather shoes | Exact material claim, construction, edge finish and care. |
| Soccer cleats | Stud layout, surface type, upper and size fit. |
Other shapes
Slides, slippers and skate shoes require their own checks
Slides and slippers need footbed length, strap or upper fit, outsole and packaging details. Skate shoes may need extra information about sole construction, reinforcement and padding. Chunky sneakers deserve closer attention to pair weight, carton volume and the effect of rigid packaging.
Pack record
Box decisions change both condition and shipping
- Is an individual shoe box included, optional or unavailable?
- What protective material surrounds the pair?
- What is the gross packed weight for one pair?
- How many pairs fit one export carton?
- Are carton dimensions measured after final packing?
- Can different sizes be mixed without losing identifiers?
Supplier claim
A supplier label is not verification
A page or contact can claim to supply footwear without proving its identity or responsibility. Check the current business details, product page, quotation basis, sample route and transaction protections separately.
Judge the sample by specifications you can trace and tradeoffs you can describe, not by promotional language or one attractive photo.
