Professor Wang, an expert from the China Leather Association, pointed out: "In recent years, some businesses have adopted ultra-thin leather materials below 0.6mm in order to reduce costs. This 'paper skin' is very easy to peel. It is recommended that consumers choose leather materials with a thickness of more than 1.2mm."
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the peeling of leather shoes is the result of multiple factors. Consumers should pay attention to material selection when purchasing, perform maintenance when using, and protect their rights in a timely manner if they encounter quality problems. Only by joint efforts of many parties can the occurrence of such consumer disputes be reduced.
