See cortex
Use your fingers to press down the leather on the surface of Martin boots with appropriate force to see if the leather is soft and elastic.

Look at the sole
Put on your shoes, and then take a few steps to see if the sole is soft and elastic. Moreover, step on the ground hard to see if there will be a sense of shock and pain. The sole with poor quality has poor softness and no elasticity. When you step on the ground with force, your feet will feel numb and painful. The sole is too hard and the shockproof effect is poor.
Look inside
Generally, the inner lining of Martins is plush. Pull the inner lining with appropriate force by hand to see whether it is firm and whether it will fall. Put your hand in your shoes to see if it can quickly warm you up. The inner lining with good quality has strong fluff, which is not suitable for falling. After wearing it, it can quickly keep warm.

Look carefully at each sewing place of the boots to see whether the sewing is neat and uniform, whether the threads are messy and crossed, and whether the lines are redundant. Pull at the sewing place with appropriate force to see if the sewing is firm and firm. Martin boots with poor quality are sewn casually, and sometimes the threads are messy and crossed, and redundant threads are the most common.
