What we check before listing
We start with the sole: how worn the tread is at the heel and the front tip, and whether any part is starting to come away from the upper. The glue at the sole joint is often a weak point in sports shoes that have been stored for a long time. We check the upper stitching, the neatness of the material, and the condition of the insole, including smell and any peeling layers. The size label, logo, and print on the tongue or inside the shoe are matched against known official products. This is how we usually check, not a guarantee of authenticity.
Caring for it
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap after wearing, then dry them in the shade. Avoid drying them in direct, hot sun and keep them away from heat sources, because the glue and synthetic materials can be damaged. Take out the insoles and laces from time to time so the inside dries faster. Store them in a ventilated place, and do not stack them while they are damp.
