# What is "Physical Appraisal"?

Physical Appraisal is a hands-on inspection to catch "super-fakes" that photos cannot detect. Our specialists verify each item’s "manufacturing DNA" against factory standards, focusing on: 

1. Materials (weight, scent, and texture)
2. Construction (internal stitching, glue patterns, and midsole flexibility)
3. Completeness (box, labels, and all accessories).
