Before the footwear leaves the factory and arrives in retail stores or online shops, the goods should be properly inspected for quality control so that buyers and consumers will not be disappointed.  

At Eurofins Consumer Product Assurance, we have teams of highly trained field inspectors with robust footwear and inspection knowledge to run inspection quality checks (QC) for your footwear products, whether they are high heels, sandals, sport shoes, boots, or children's shoes. Send us your footwear inspection enquiry anytime for discussion.

We work according to AQL sampling rules and can customise footwear inspection protocols to your specific needs. 

Upper part  

• Inspect the general view of vamp, inner and outer quarter, and tongue (if any) 
• Check the size and style on the labels 
• Check the symmetry of the shoes from different angles 

Accessories

• Check the functionalities and appearance of accessories such as zippers, aglet, eyelets and embroidery 

Bottom part

• Check the colour and height of the shoe bottoms and soles
  Check for possible defects e.g. over-gluing and loose stitching 

Inner part

• Check for workmanship including clean lining, smooth shoe collar finishing, and tight stitching 

Overall quality 

In addition to the inspection process detailed above, to comprehensively assess the quality of the shoes, we also inspect several other elements. These include: 

• Are the shoes clean? 
• Are there any unpleasant smells? 
• Are the logos printed clearly, without any smudges? 
• Could any part of the shoes cause pain to the feet when worn?
