OrientDig Sneaker QC Checklist
Complete OrientDig sneaker QC checklist covering sole inspection, stitching, logo placement, sizing, shape, and color accuracy.
Sole Inspection
The sole is one of the most important sneaker QC areas. Check the tread pattern for accuracy and depth. Compare against listing photos for pattern consistency. Inspect the sole material for proper color and texture. Look for glue stains where the sole meets the upper material. Minor glue residue is common, but significant stains or gaps between sole and upper indicate construction issues. The sole should be firmly attached without visible separation.
Stitching Quality
Inspect all visible stitching on the sneaker. Toe box stitching should be even and consistent. Midsole stitching should follow clean lines without waviness. Heel stitching should be straight and properly aligned. Loose threads are common but should not indicate unraveling seams. Double stitching or reinforcement at stress points indicates better construction quality.
Logo and Branding
Logo placement on sneakers is critical. Check the tongue logo for correct positioning, size, and font. Heel logos should be centered and properly aligned. Insole logos should be clear and correctly placed. Any text on the sneaker should have correct spelling and font. Logo inaccuracies are among the most noticeable QC issues for sneakers. Compare logos against authentic reference images when available.
Size Tag Verification
The size tag inside the shoe provides important information. It should list the correct size, a style or model code, and a manufacturing date. Compare the style code against known references if available. The tag should be securely attached and legible. Mismatched or illegible size tags are a significant QC concern.
Overall Shape and Silhouette
Compare the overall shape of the sneaker from side, top, and back angles against listing photos and reference images. The toe box shape should match expectations. The heel curve should be consistent. The overall proportions should look correct. Shape issues are often more apparent when comparing side-by-side with reference photos rather than viewing QC photos in isolation.
