Putian shoes refer to footwear products produced in Putian City, Fujian Province, China and its surrounding areas. Because the footwear industry in Putian City was very developed in previous decades and produced a large number of footwear products, it was called "Putian Shoes". However, due to the existence of some unscrupulous merchants and the fact that some Putian shoe factories use inferior materials and crude technology to produce shoes in pursuit of profits, some Putian shoes are questioned as fake shoes.

So, are Putian shoes fake?

In fact, the answer to this question is not black and white. Although some Putian shoes are fake or of poor quality, not all Putian shoes are like this. In the market, some Putian shoe factories produce high-quality shoes with high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship, which are not much different from some well-known brands in quality and appearance.

So, how do we judge whether the purchased Putian shoes are real shoes?

First of all, we can make a preliminary judgment from the price. If the price of a pair of Putian shoes differs greatly from the market price, then this pair of shoes is likely to be fake or of poor quality. Because the prices of shoes produced by regular manufacturers are reasonable, there won't be much difference.

Secondly, you can observe the details of the shoes. The details of real shoes are handled in place, and the lines of shoes are smooth, without obvious defects and color difference. Fake shoes often have problems such as messy threads and unsmooth lines.

In addition, we can also identify the authenticity of Putian shoes through some identification methods. For example, it can be judged by observing the details of the shoe logo, shoe box, insole and so on. Generally speaking, the logo and packaging box of real shoes will have regular logo and anti-counterfeiting logo, while fake shoes often do not have these logos.

Of course, if you are worried about the shoes you buy, you can also identify them through some professional appraisal institutions. These institutions can identify the authenticity of shoes by testing and analyzing the materials and techniques of shoes.

In short, although some Putian shoes have problems such as counterfeiting, not all Putian shoes are like this. When buying shoes, you can judge whether the purchased Putian shoes are genuine by observing the price and details. At the same time, we should also support genuine brands and high-quality products to make the market develop more healthily and orderly.
