Synopsis
This is my last pair of non-sewn shoes, a pair of Chelsea boots. At this time, I still don’t know what the world of leather shoes is like, and I don’t know that there are so much attention to it. In terms of aesthetics, it is completely personal and I have not received any education. At that time, I thought there were a lot of leather shoes, and there should be a pair of boots. I couldn’t name the boots, but after watching a lot, I thought they looked good.
What brand is Focus Step? You should have never heard of it. When I bought it on Taobao, I didn’t write this brand on the product. It was strange until I received the goods and saw the soles and insoles. Why didn’t I say anything about it? Later, I asked the boss and realised that 99% of the company’s business was exported, and Taobao only opened up another channel. Who knew whether the export would not work in the future? I found that the company’s annual sales volume is 100 million US dollars. I actually have no idea, but I think it’s quite awesome. I saw this company’s products on Amazon. It’s really cheap. I look at other people’s comments, but I recognise the quality of their products.
Advantage
Style. What’s good about it? It’s the cleanest and simplest Chelsea. In the process of browsing, I really met too many “innovative” Chelsea. Without exception, these Chelsea are uglier than clean. In the process of looking at high-end shoes later, I did see an innovative but good-looking Chelsea, but in the low-end sector, I feel that many manufacturers innovate for the sake of differentiation. This is a good thing, but innovation with poor basic skills is tantamount to a big luck. Of course, the effect is generally not good.
Sole, this is a glued shoe. The sole is rubber, and it is not a high-end shoe. Sometimes the “niple” sole (brand Dainite) is deliberately selected for wear resistance. It is a very ordinary rubber sole. So what’s good about it?
To be honest, if you look at this brand of products on Amazon, the shoe type is almost useless, but the sole can beat the brands that are twice the price. However, at present, my statement is only about aesthetics. Whether it is functionally durable or not cannot be answered at present.。
Colour, anyway, I like brown very much. Dark brown and light brown, I personally prefer light brown. In total, it is not so dull, not flamboyant, but also suitable for colour matching.Leather. I can’t tell whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage, so I have to put it here first.
It really confuses me. What kind of skin is this?
Shortcoming
Fake stitching, I think this is also a good standpoint. If a person buys a pair of cheap shoes and wants it to look more high-end, then this kind of fake stitching can indeed play this role. But if you have a lot of sewn shoes, or high-end shoes, you may not like this kind of counterfeiting behaviour.
It’s like if the person with the real bag has a fake bag, he would rather tell them generously that this is an A product, and there is no need to take a fake bag to increase his value.
Aesthetics, I don’t think this can be regarded as a disadvantage. I’m critical. This price, if you ask for shoes at least ten times its price, it must be wrong.
In fact, there are two places. One is that the toe can be slimmer, and the other is that the waist is too wide, so it can be closed a little more.
Sum up
This is a very error-prone Chelsea, comfortable to wear, and the sole structure and aesthetics are also very good. I hope it can be worn longer. And someone can tell me what kind of skin it is.
