Why Shoes Are the Best Category
Shoe manufacturing infrastructure for reps has gotten genuinely sophisticated. The molds, the materials, the stitching machines – they've improved a lot. I'd put several kakobuy spreadsheet shoes against retail pairs in a blind test and they'd compete.
Shoe Buying Tips
- Always size up half a size for Nike/Jordan models
- Request QC photos with sole completely flat on white surface
- Check tongue label font weight – it's the most common fail
- Avoid sellers listing more than 50 different shoe models (jack of all trades)
