China’s three major leather shoes production bases are Guangzhou, Wenzhou and Chengdu. The leather shoes produced in Guangzhou are of good quality and the price is the middle and high-end route. The leather shoes produced in Wenzhou are mainly the mid-bottom route. Chengdu is mainly engaged in the production of women’s leather shoes. In Guangzhou, companies with small scale and poor profitability in the leather footwear industry will face greater operational risks.Guangzhou leather shoes advantage enterprises have certain barriers in brand image,channel layout and R&D design. With the trend of Guangzhou shoe consumption upgrading,the proportion of high-end shoes in Guangzhou leather shoes manufacturing industry will gradually increase, and the market share will be to further concentration with brand enterprises.
Under this circumstance, Guangzhou leather shoes inspection is also “forced” to upgrade its own inspection capabilities. CLI has many experienced inspectors in Guangzhou office.They usually pass professional training tests, and they are also good at the inspection process for leather shoes. Because the CLI has inspectors throughout the country, coverage area is mainly concentrated in coastal cities, and most of the factories are located in coastal cities. There are many chances to for our inspectors,which made them very experienced.
The inspection process of leather shoes is divided into visual inspection and testing. Due to the particularity of the material, natural leather is usually used for the upper; leather, rubber, plastic, PU foam, PVC, etc. for the sole,through sewing, gluing ,injection molding and other processes to process.Therefore,there are many test items, and the Guangzhou leather shoes inspection cannot detect it on site,which needs to be sent to the inspection laboratory.
