Why are counterfeit products dangerous?

According to the conclusion of the Federal Budgetary Institution of Health "Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology", it was established that the toxicity index of counterfeit shoes and the content of such substances as Acetaldehyde, Ethylene Glycol and Formaldehyde many times exceed the permissible standards.

The overwhelming number of manufacturers of counterfeit shoes for Russia generally ignore generally accepted standards adopted by shoe manufacturers, and also do not recognize the bans on the use of cheap toxic glue, tannins, low-quality dyes, cheap leatherette and plastic. It’s easy to guess what consequences wearing such shoes can cause. Flat feet – perhaps, does not sound so scary for lovers of cheap beauty. Various skin diseases, joint diseases, and, finally, oncology are undoubtedly more severe and terrible, but, unfortunately, no less real for fans of counterfeit shoes.

What comes next is worse. The fact that counterfeit shoes are dangerous to life is evidenced by the carcinogens formaldehyde and phenolic compounds present in many batches of shoes - substances that provoke cancer.

In handicraft shoe production, aromatic amine, metal amine and unstable aniline dyes are also used. When wearing such shoes for a long time, the likelihood of cancer increases hundreds of times! The problem becomes much more serious when you consider that many of these factories use formaldehyde and phenols in the production of shoes for both adults and children. Cheap synthetic shoes can be compared to steam bath for the legs, where the body receives prohibitive amounts of carcinogenic substances through the skin.

Scientists have proven that more than 75% of cancers occur due to harmful and deadly substances entering our body from the outside. Human skin very quickly absorbs synthetic substances, which are present in terrifying quantities not only in cheap cooperative cosmetics, but also in homemade clothing and shoes. Once in the body, poisons are not eliminated, but remain in it forever. Of course, if you wear such shoes today, your health may not suffer tomorrow, but rest assured, the consequences, the most terrible of which are incurable terrible diseases, may not take long to arrive.

Today, experts from the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision Authority advise not only not to try on counterfeit shoes, but also not to smell them. Unpleasant, pungent odor? Place your shoes on the shelf and leave the store as a matter of urgency. Formaldehyde, styrene, phenol, organic solvents, nitrogen-containing dyes, toxic adhesives, salts of heavy metals (lead, cobalt, chromium, cadmium) - homemade counterfeit shoes contain, if not the entire periodic table, then certainly a school course in organic chemistry. But, despite the content of all of the above poisons, shoes, shoes and boots can have a quite attractive appearance, and it is not always possible to reject them based on their smell. However, even that amount harmful substances, which is not detected by our sense of smell, makes such shoes especially dangerous to life.

How much has already been said about the dangers of counterfeit shoes produced somewhere in basements in small-scale handicraft production?! How much more remains to be told?! After all, we were taught to take care of our health from childhood: not to use alcoholic drinks, no smoking, lead healthy image life... The only thing is that you also need to choose the right shoes (so as not to stretch your legs before due date), without chasing cheapness, many of us find out, alas, too late.

Take care of yourself! Wear only high-quality shoes!

How to distinguish ECCO shoes from counterfeit products?

2. In ECCO shoes, the logo on the inside of the shoe must be very clear - even small elements of the logo are visually recognizable.

Sports shoes must meet many requirements. It's not only Beautiful design, but also, above all, convenience: after all, during training or long walks, the legs experience serious stress. In order to enjoy comfort and ease of movement, Ecco sneakers are designed to meet high standards modern sports fashion.

Features and Benefits

The world-famous Danish brand Ecco with a forty-year history has representative offices in 50 countries. The company's products are of time-tested quality, ensuring people's comfort and health.

Ecco sneakers have gained particular popularity and are enjoyed by young people and older people alike. Prices for sportswear are quite reasonable compared to shoes from other popular brands.

Each series is carefully developed, research is carried out and only after that the production process starts. The brand's headquarters is located in Copenhagen, where the latest models are developed and tested.

The production itself is scattered throughout the world, which reduces costs. So, back in the 70s. Shoe factories appeared in Brazil, and a little later a license was issued to factories in the then existing Czechoslovakia, which are still operating today. A subsidiary was opened in Austria. In the 90s, production was launched in Asia, Argentina, and South America. A large modern Ecco plant was built in China in 2005.

Review of men's sneakers from this company - in the video.

  • Sneakers from the Danish brand are made from natural raw materials, which provide your feet with maximum comfort. This soft skin, natural rubber and high-quality textiles based on plant fibers. It should be noted that the company processes and tans hides at its own tanneries. Thanks to their elasticity, the products fit the leg perfectly and follow the contour of the foot. The Ecco sneakers are snug around the heel and have a slightly loose toe box that doesn't restrict your toes.
  • Sports shoes do not allow moisture to pass through, but at the same time provide free access to air - your feet will not get wet in them, but they will not sweat either.
  • Ecco sneakers stimulate the leg muscles during sports and also soften impacts. At the same time, the shock-absorbing properties of shoes are constantly being improved. As products for everyday wear, sneakers fit perfectly into urban style.
  • The sports models of the Danish brand are lightweight, which makes walking and running tireless. The secret of this is in the special material of the sole - polyurethane, thermopolyurethane, latex.
  • One of the reasons for the popularity of Ecco shoes is their durability; the product can last several seasons without fail.
  • As for the design sports models, then this combination timeless classics And modern trends. Ecco shoes are distinguished by their laconicism, the absence of decorative frills and all sorts of glamorous details.

Models

According to seasonality, Ecco sneakers can be divided into summer and insulated models. As for the first category, they are often made of textiles and have light or bright colors. Thanks to the heat resistance, the shoes are not hot in summer and not cold in winter.

One of the most popular models is the Ecco BIOM Run sneakers. Before developing this modification, technologists and engineers carefully examined the legs of more than two thousand athletes of various profiles. The result was the creation of sneakers that can perfectly adapt to the anatomical features of each person's foot.

The BIOM Run sneaker model is distinguished by its thoughtful design, low weight (due to the polyurethane sole) and extraordinary comfort. The polyurethane outsole, which includes PCA foam, improves the grip of the products and provides additional comfort. Sports shoes are so flexible that they can be easily bent in half and even rolled into a tube. It is appreciated both by professional athletes and ordinary consumers.

Ecco also pays great attention to the children's audience, who like the catchy modern design of sneakers. Fashion designers of the Danish brand develop comfortable products for little customers for running, hiking and sports training.

The upper of these sneakers is unusually soft, the textile lining absorbs moisture and provides airflow. Double-layer insoles create an optimal microclimate. Parents can choose a model with eye-catching laces or a convenient Velcro fastener for their child. In addition, children's sneakers are equipped with non-slip soles.

Ecco models take into account the characteristics of children's feet, for example, the heel has a characteristic bevel for maximum comfort. And the shock absorption system evenly distributes the load on the joints.

If you are choosing for your son or daughter sports shoes for long hikes, Ecco has options with thick soles and a removable insole.

Color

The color range of Ecco sneakers is very diverse. These are classic black and white models. Beige, brown, and blue versions of sneakers also look impressive. Moreover, many products have a white sole.

Products of contrasting colors are interesting: blue-gray, red-brown, blue-white, white-lilac, black-burgundy sneakers.

Children's models are bright, especially options for girls. Sneakers with a metallic effect look especially stylish for young fashionistas.

How to choose?

When choosing summer or more insulated sneakers from Ecco, pay attention, first of all, to comfort. The heel should be firmly fixed by the heel, but it is better to give the toes freedom.

According to experts, it is recommended to purchase sports shoes half a size larger, since they do not need to be broken in. Take into account the individual characteristics of your foot.

As you know, Ecco shoes are produced not only in Danish factories. The quality of products manufactured in some developing countries (despite strict control) may be slightly inferior to analogues from European factories. Therefore, particularly picky buyers are always interested in the question of the country of origin of a particular model of sneakers.

Note that recently cases of counterfeit Ecco shoes have become more frequent, and this mainly concerns sneakers. Fraudsters, as a rule, do not pay attention to the following things, which increase the cost of products:

  • To avoid becoming a victim of deception, when purchasing, check for the 11-digit article number that absolutely any branded model has on the box label. The first six digits are the model number, and the five digits are the color number. By the way, by article number you can find the product on the official Ecco website and compare it with your purchase.
  • Original products Danish brand packed in a cardboard box gray the same laconic design as the shoes. The sneakers themselves are certainly wrapped in paper with the brand logo.
  • Ecco shoes always come with cardboard inserts to help maintain their shape.
  • Sneakers should not smell like rubber or glue. The sole of the original shoes seems to be fused with the leather - this is an expensive technology, small manufacturers cannot afford it.
  • Another indicator of the originality of sneakers is the insole: in Ecco products, it always follows the anatomical shape of the foot and has at least two layers of material.

To avoid counterfeiting, buy sneakers only in Ecco branded stores. However, keep in mind that high-quality shoes will not be cheap.

How to distinguish ECCO shoes from counterfeit products?

1. For ECCO shoes, a mandatory condition is the presence of a branded box. If the shoes are without a box, then, unfortunately, it is a fake. The box must have a brand logo and a sticker with all information about the product.

2. In ECCO shoes, the logo on the inside of the shoe must be very clear - even small elements of the logo are visually recognizable.

Recently, the online market has been flooded with low-quality fakes of famous shoe brands. How to avoid falling for scammers?

Comfortable, high-quality shoes are the most important key to success in a variety of activities, as any active, active person who values ​​their health and time will tell you.

If your feet are shod in stylish shoes that are comfortable for your feet and toes, your daily activity goes as planned - you manage to do everything you planned, you do not get tired and are in high spirits.

If your shoes press, rub, don’t breathe well, get wet and tend to come apart from the first rain, your life turns into a painful struggle with unpleasant sensations, things don’t go well, you’re irritated and take it out on others. Is this a familiar picture?

Therefore, the factor of good shoes is of utmost importance these days.

Many people have both their favorite models of shoes, sneakers, sandals and boots, as well as their favorite brands, which we select from our youth, on the advice of friends, having previously rubbed a bunch of calluses and trampled on more than a dozen corns.

Good shoes cost money and saving on it is more expensive for yourself. That’s why it’s so important to know how to distinguish a high-quality original model of your favorite brand from, for example, a factory fake or professional imitation of a well-known brand.

Shoe scammers from the Internet

Recently, cases of counterfeiting of a well-known and popular Danish brand - ECCO, the average price of models of which is about 100 USD. even in EU countries. Therefore, by definition, these shoes cannot be cheap.

But such a trifle does not stop inventive scammers.

The most striking and recent example is described below.

So on the website http://e-brand.com.ua/ (warehouse in Dnieper), they offer a number of models supposedly from the original brand ECCO, with a discount of up to 60%. As a result, the average price of moccasins, demi-season shoes, and sneakers in this online store is around 1,100 hryvnia. A tempting price isn't it! Delivery from 2 pairs is free within Ukraine by Nova Poshta, payment only upon receipt, money back guaranteed if the product does not fit.

These are fake models ECCO offered in the online store.

And these are fake reviews from supposedly satisfied customers - a favorite technique of scammers.

I ordered three pairs of shoes from the website. The next day I received a notification from the post office that my order had been delivered.

Right on the spot, upon receipt, I took the sent models out of the boxes and examined them carefully. What can I tell you? A cheap fake, although it claims to have been manufactured in a factory. Let's start with the fact that all three models “arrived” in strange boxes. Let's move on - everyone's soles are somehow left-handed, the insoles are cardboard, the seams are loose, in short, "praise" of the highest order! Present ECCO There are no such models at all.

You can look at the photo - this is the miracle they offer to buy for gullible lovers ECCO for more than 1000 hryvnia for one pair!

And this is what these same pseudo models that were sent to us by Novaya Poshta look like.

Thank God, for the sake of the experiment I did not have to pay for a low-quality fake, and the fake will go back to the sender. But how many less sophisticated and attentive people fell for the cheapness and paid a lot of money for a product that could fall apart at any moment?

Signs of the original brand

We contacted the official representative of the company ECCO in Ukraine with a request to comment on the situation and advise on how not to make a mistake with the choice, and to distinguish high-quality original brand shoes from fakes.

“Every year, those who want to make money on the glorious name of the company ECCO, is getting bigger and bigger. And the chances of getting burned by buying non-original shoes under the label ECCO, increase many times over,” — a representative of the ECCO brand in Ukraine told us.

“How to distinguish original shoes from fakes?

  1. The very first thing you need to pay attention to is to check the presence of the original article number consisting of eleven digits, which is assigned by the company to each new model and is written on the box label. Also, the first six numbers can be found on the lining of the model, usually near the lacing. The article number consists of two sets of numbers. The first six digits indicate the model and what it looks like, and the second five digits indicate the color number. Counterfeits do not have this item. Because, using the article number, you can easily check what the original model looks like in official online stores.
  2. The next thing you should also look at is the packaging of the shoes. The company now packages its shoes in carton boxes gray color. All boxes have different sizes, depending on the model and size of the shoe. Shoes in a box must be wrapped in white or gray paper with company logos. Also, classic models are wrapped in a special synthetic fabric. The shoes themselves always have cardboard inserts that support their shape. Those who counterfeit shoes do not pay attention to such things, so as not to increase the cost of producing counterfeits.
  3. A very important point that we recommend that you look at is how the sole is made and attached. Company ECCO was the first to introduce the technology of injection molding of soles into molds into mass production of footwear. In this case, the sole is not sewn or glued, as is done in cheap shoes and fakes. The sole seems to merge with the skin and has no gaps or glue residues. This production technology is quite expensive, and small shoe manufacturers cannot afford to produce their products this way. Usually they order a ready-made sole and glue it to the upper, while the shoes, very often, remain unsealed and allow water to pass through.
  4. Another indicator of the originality of shoes ECCO are insoles. The company produces insoles from various materials. Leather, textiles, felt, wool, foam rubber, microfiber and other modern materials are used in various combinations. If you take it out and look at the insole, you will see that it consists of two or three layers and is always anatomically correctly shaped according to the foot. Again, manufacturers of counterfeit shoes do not pay attention to such things, so as not to increase the cost of production.
  5. An important indicator of originality are the materials from which the upper of the shoe is made. Leather for shoes and bags ECCO Produced in-house to the highest standards in the industry. The highest quality yak, camel and cow leather is used. In fakes, only the cheapest is used - pork from China. Leather is processed many times, going through various technical processes, and ultimately has qualities that cannot be replicated in artisanal conditions and in small-scale production. Pay attention to the thickness, texture, softness and finish of the leather, and you will know for yourself whether this is a high-quality product or a low-grade fake from the market.”

Well, a comprehensive answer from a specialist and your vigilance should help you choose good shoes! But let the relevant structures deal with the scammers. After all, such actions clearly violate both consumer rights and a number of current laws of Ukraine.

Guaranteed quality - only on branded sites!

On the Internet we counted more than 30(!) different sites selling shoes under the guise of a brand ECSO. It seems that this is a record for any industrial brands in Ukraine. At the official representative office ECSO in Ukraine, the MTI company, assured us that the present ECSO from Denmark is supplied to Ukraine only through their company. And only on the company’s branded websites - ECCO http://ecco.com.ua/, as well as Intertop https://intertop.ua, you can be guaranteed to purchase original shoes from the popular Danish brand. Everything else is fake, counterfeit and illegal trade in untested goods, counting on people’s greed and penchant for big discounts.

Well, we wish you good mood and comfortable walking! Take care of yourself!

Collateral Have a good mood partly it is high-quality, comfortable shoes. If your shoes or boots are tight, chafing your heels and constantly getting wet, this is very annoying and unsettling. It’s one thing when a person knowingly purchased cheap shoes, but another when he paid a considerable amount in the hope of getting a branded item, and he was blatantly deceived.

In order not to fall into the tricks of pali manufacturers, we recommend that you carefully study the features of your favorite original brand, learn to immediately distinguish between factory fakes, professional imitation and really good quality real shoes.

You can often find fake shoes from popular Danish brands on the Internet. ECCO brand. The average cost of a pair rarely falls below a hundred dollars, even during seasonal discounts and sales. Scammers offer popular models at sweet prices, claim that their shoes are original, and thus bribe gullible people.

Distinctive features of ECCO branded shoes

vendor code

If you plan to buy shoes online other than on the official Ekko website, first you need to check whether the pair has a special original article number. This number consists of 11 digits; each model is assigned its own number.

The article number is indicated on the label of the branded box. The first 6 numbers from the code are applied to the lining of the model, often near the lacing or on the tongue (be it shoes, sneakers, boots or sandals), they indicate the model. The second 5 digits encrypt the color of the shoes.

Manufacturers of fakes do not bother with clarifying information regarding the article, since any buyer can use it to check whether the model in front of them is original or not.

Package

Absolutely all ECCO models are packaged in gray cardboard boxes; for each model their dimensions may vary slightly. But not so long ago the color of the boxes was white. The pair is always wrapped in branded paper, it can be in color:

  • gray;
  • white.

Some classic shoe variations are packaged in special bags made of synthetic fabric.

The ECCO brand cares about quality and appearance their products, so there are cardboard inserts inside the shoes to maintain their shape. You are unlikely to find such a nuance in Pali; manufacturers of fakes do not want to increase the cost of their products.

Sole

An important point is the sole; it can also say a lot. You need to look at how it is made, how it is attached to textiles or leather. The original insole in ECCO shoes is cast; it is produced using a special technology under pressure in a mold.

The sole is not sewn or glued, as is usually done, even in famous brands, but fused together with the rest of the shoes. As a result, the shoes do not tear, do not fall apart, and are missing:

  1. gaps;
  2. traces of glue;
  3. cracks.

The technology is very expensive; small suppliers of cheap goods cannot afford to produce their goods in this way. Usually, in imitations and replicas, the sole is purchased separately, then it is glued to the upper. The trouble with such shoes is the lack of tightness; they allow water to pass through, especially after several months of wear, when they begin to wear out.

The original ECCO sole bends easily, does not burst, is soft to the touch, and does not flow.

Insole

An indicator of quality and belonging to the original is the insole. ECCO uses various materials, with equal frequency, the manufacturer makes an insole from:

  • wool;
  • textiles;
  • microfibers;
  • felt

There are also combinations of these materials. Threads should not stick out anywhere, all lines are always even and neat.

Turning it inside out and examining the insole, you can see that it consists of several layers, usually two or three. The insole is always formed anatomically correctly. In fakes, this condition is unlikely to be met, although there may be exceptions.

Upper materials

One of the main indicators of originality is the top. ECCO sews shoes and bags from genuine yak, camel, and cow leather. Moreover, the brand produces it itself. Depending on the model and style, synthetic leather and textiles are additionally used. This is always indicated on the packaging. Those who have experience wearing original ECCO shoes know exactly what leather feels like and how chic it looks.

Genuine leather blanks go through many technological processes; the result becomes unacceptable for copying without special equipment in small-scale production. The fakes use the cheapest Chinese pig skin.

Leather quality requires attention:

  1. softness;
  2. thickness;
  3. coating;
  4. texture.

Even without much experience, the buyer will be able to understand what is in front of him - an original or a fake. Although there are also copies that will raise doubts even among experts, therefore it is necessary to check the pair immediately according to all the described parameters. If the seller offers a finger, then in any case there will be discrepancies with the original, this applies to any little thing that the manufacturer did not pay attention to in order to reduce the cost of the product.

I would also recommend smelling your shoes. No matter how funny it may sound, but genuine leather An expensive brand can also be identified by its smell. Do you remember stores that sell cheap shoes? Already in front of the door a sharp sound is heard, bad smell either synthetics or glue, it indicates low quality products. Sneakers, boots or other ECCO shoes never smell of anything; there may only be a faint odor of genuine leather.

Why are any fake shoes dangerous?

The danger of counterfeits lies not only in the fact that we are blatantly deceived by passing off outright consumer goods as expensive shoes, but also that counterfeit manufacturers ignore the standards adopted by shoe manufacturers. To obtain the maximum possible profit, manufacturers of counterfeit ECCO violate the bans on the use of cheap toxic glue, low-quality dyes, poor plastics, leather substitutes and tannins.

The consequences of wearing such replicas are flat feet, joint and skin diseases, and even oncology. Low-grade counterfeits are life-threatening and may contain:

  • formaldehyde;
  • phenolic compounds.

In handicraft production they do not hesitate to use aromatic amine, unstable aniline dyes, and metal amine. If you wear such shoes for a long time, the likelihood of developing cancer pathologies quickly increases.

ECCO shoes are counterfeited not only from the adult department, but also from the children's department. Cheapness can be compared to a steam bath for the feet; in this case, an impressive amount of carcinogenic substances penetrates into the body, the child’s feet are susceptible to deformation.

The rule of purchasing shoes only in trusted places, on the official websites of the manufacturer, will help you protect yourself from counterfeits.
