There are snow boots made of different materials such as chemical fiber, artificial wool, and wool on the market. Among them, wool snow boots are the most particular about purity. There are many inferior products or counterfeit products flooding the market. So when buying wool snow boots, four tips to help you choose pure wool snow boots can be distinguished by looking, touching, smelling, and burning:
(I) Look
Observe the color of the wool carefully. High-quality wool snow boots are made of high-quality environmentally friendly dyes and auxiliaries from abroad and processed using advanced technology and processes. The color is bright, vivid, and soft; inferior goods are dull in color, easy to fade, and color is mixed; if the snow boots are made of different colors, you should pay attention to whether there is color difference in the same color; and for cut velvet snow boots, the flatness and density of the velvet surface should be paid special attention.
(II) Touch
1. Gently stroke the surface of the wool with your hand. High-quality wool snow boots are strictly selected with good density. When you gently wipe them with your hand, you will feel delicate and velvety; while inferior goods feel rough and sticky. This is because high-quality wool snow boots are made of high-quality Australian lambskin, which has a short growth period, well-preserved hair scales, fine fur fibers, uniform density, and elasticity.
2. Use your hands to separate the fur to check whether there are fur cracks, whether the leather pieces are firmly spliced, and whether there are obvious seams.
3. Gently pull the fur with your hands to see if there is any hair loss. The leather board of high-quality wool snow boots is very strong, especially Australian wool, whose breaking load is twice that of rabbit skin. It is not easy to shed hair, and it will not let broken hair stick to clothes.
(III) Smell
Take the product close and smell it. High-quality wool is processed with imported tanning agents and advanced technology, and is sterilized before leaving the factory. It can prevent the breeding of mites and bacteria, and there is no odor; while inferior wool will emit an unpleasant fishy smell due to incomplete removal of grease.
After using wool snow boots for a period of time, you only need to use a special comb to gently comb the fur to restore it to its original state. If there are slight stains, you can use a clean towel dipped in volatile dry cleaning agent to gently wipe and dry it. If the stain is too big, it must be sent to a professional store for cleaning.
When not in use in hot weather, wool snow boots must be stored in a ventilated and dry place. Do not fold or press for a long time. If insect repellent is used, do not directly contact the fur. In addition, it must be dried in a ventilated place before storage, and do not expose it to the sun.
(IV) Burning
1. For wool products, along the edge of the wool snow boots, gently pull out a strand of fine hair, take off a little thread, and ignite it with fire. Pure wool will first curl and smoke, with a yellow flame, and smell of burning hair, leaving a dark brown ash block, which will become fine powder when pressed with fingers; fake wool will form hard lumps of charred slag after burning, which is not easy to twist and has no smell of burning hair. When burning, it will smoke and bubble while burning, accompanied by the odor of burning hair, with a lot of ash, and the shiny black will be crispy.
2. For acrylic products, when burning, it will melt and burn slowly, the flame is white, bright and powerful, with a little black smoke and a fishy smell, and the ash is white spherical, brittle and fragile.
3. Nylon products melt and burn slowly at the same time, with a little white smoke. The flame is small and blue with a celery scent, and forms light brown hard lumps that are not easy to break.
