To distinguish genuine leather from artificial leather in a store, the following actions will help:
- Flex the skin or squeeze. Natural leather will immediately take its original shape without creases and deep folds.
- Press your palm against the skin of the boot. Natural leather gradually takes away the warmth of the hand and begins to give it away. The artificial leather is slightly cool and does not heat up.
- Look at the skin sections. Artificial leather is immediately distinguishable by its basis - textiles or polyamide, which look multi-layered. Natural leather is thicker and more solid.
- If possible, put a drop of water on the boot. Natural leather will immediately absorb moisture and darken. Artificial leather does not absorb moisture.
