How to choose?
Very often we find shoes from Italy in stores. But is it really Italian shoes, because fakes are very common. How not to make a mistake in choosing and buy real high-quality shoes?
- First, pay attention to the brand name on the sole or on other elements of the shoe.
- Secondly, the seams distinguish real Italian shoes. They should be flat.
- Also, the boots should not have creases or cracks, and the skin should be soft.
- Thirdly, all winter boots are made of genuine leather or suede and are insulated or decorated with natural fur.
- And the last important factor of difference from a fake is the presence of heels in the set, if the shoes are with heels.
