Shoe Brand Awareness In Dubai

UAE is a growing and developing nation in varying sectors including the fashion and footwear sectors. I noticed that after attending many fashion events or expos here that there was always a small amount of footwear vendors scattered about in the event space which didn’t draw that much attention from the visitors. The well known APLF leather exhibition…

2. Glorified Cult Leader

Dubai

"So Daniel, do you have any questions?"

The reporter stares at Louis in near astonishment, removing his glasses to rub his aching head.

"About the woman with the face full of teeth? Yes, I have fucking questions! You had that one in disguise this whole time" Daniel motions to Armand with his glasses "Should I assume there's a demon lady pretending to dust shelves in a sexy maid uniform somewhere around here?"

Louis crosses an ankle over his knee with a slight laugh, Armand's arm loops over the back of the back of the sofa and rubs his hand. "No. Nothing like that. Patience Daniel and good things will come, let the story take you where it needs you to be."

Paris

The Rusalka moves gracefully through the vast library shelves, fingers gently grazing cover after cover. Heeled shoes moving after the other creating an echo off the marble floors. Her head raises, no longer lost in thought- she sniffs the air.

"You can come out, you're not nearly as sneaky as you seem to think you are."

A tapping of leather soles against the floor much like her own sounds from behind her.

The well-dressed leader she met the other evening walks out from behind a shelf, he leans against the wood shifting his weight onto one hip, placing his hand in his coat pocket with well-rehearsed grace. 

Her eyes trace over him and then roll “If you’re trying to kill me I wish you luck, it’s not easy.”

“Who says I wish to end your life?” 

“Your kind is territorial, I haven’t had the best experiences in the past, can you blame me for running? Not to mention your man chased me, not a very good first impression.” 

“Santiago is not my man.” His stoicism falls face curling in disgust at the accusation. 

“Right, you’re paired with the bookworm.” Her eyes shine and something swipes sideways, blinking slowly like an alligator. 

“You’re no longer deemed a threat. Siren. But you’re perspective, we could have a place for one of your kind in the coven. So long as you behave of course.”

“Wrong.” 

“Hmm?” His eyebrows perk up and his head tilts. 

“Not a siren. Similar, but I don’t sing. And I don’t lure unfaithful men to the depths. I just eat the evil ones, it’s a lot less dramatic that way.”

“You get to define what evil is?”

“Yes. You, vampires, are so strange…you love each other so purely, even when you hate. It’s so obvious, but you keep screwing each other over? I can’t tell if it’s a self-preservation instinct or not. I think you’d be a lot happier if your covens were big love fests instead of the whole master-servant dynamic.”

Armand scowls, fangs dipping slightly with a cat-like hiss. “You think yourself omniscient? We need structure, solitary vampires either wither by their lonesome until they meet the flame or sow chaos in their wake. Humans always search for more, money, power, love, knowledge, more. Why hold on to this part of your humanity when you can live content? A part of something better, the coven offers such.”

The rusalka laughs and her melodious voice has a sharp screech-like tinge to it- “Content! Oh, so great coven leader!” She cries clasping her hands together, pressing them against her face. “Who surrounds himself with sycophants, Truly the best representation of a content being, yeah? You vampires want just as much as I do. You’re not built to be lonely, companionship is in your blood. So don’t preach to me about contentment you glorified cult leader.”

Armand steps closer, face inches from the rusalka towering over her, he removes his sunglasses- tucking them into his chest pocket he looks deep into her eyes and calmly with a sneer says “You’re vulnerable. It makes you weak. We are not the only coven in France and you will not be able to run forever. Unless of course, you aim to end your studies so quickly after arriving.”

“How’d you…?”

“I may not be able to read your mind but this place is flooding with your peers. It’s quite the story you’ve concocted for yourself, the best lies are rooted in some truth are the not?” 

“My vulnerability is my power, just as yours could be. Screw your rules and your laws, going behind each others backs to make things end up your way. Just to end in failure. May it be a century or a millennia from now, but still failure.”

“Then let me offer you this. Join the coven. Prove to them why the laws should change.”

Dubai

“Is this my cue?” Daniel had been imagining this voice since it was first described to him but the reality was something else altogether. “Sorry, I didn’t have time to pick up a maid’s uniform. I know how much you like the Univision style.” The woman rounds the furniture flashing a smile at the two vampires and perching herself on the arm of the journalist's seat.

“You still smell of him.” Armand’s lip curls and Louis looks to the tempered windows for a distraction.

“I didn’t have time to swim yet either. You’re the two avoiding him. I made no such promise, I’m not involved.”

“Wait! Please tell me she isn’t taking about-”

“Lestat.” Louis interrupts as Daniel looks to the Rusalka with a look that borders on horror. “There’s an agreement in place. When she’s here she doesn��t discuss him, when she’s there she won’t discuss us.”

“It's a horrendous deal, really.”

“HOW DOES SHE EVEN KNOW LESTAT?!”

Louis stands and stretches his arms to his companions, each of them placing a hand in one of his. “This seems like a natural breaking point, you should rest Daniel. We’ll continue tomorrow.” Louis immediately begins to escort his partners out of the room leaving the reporter in shock.

“WHAT KIND OF HORSE-SHIT DO YOU MEAN BY NATURAL BREAKING POINT?!”

Thank you for reading. Sorry this isn't very long :(

armand being a part of anti-sock society is not spoken about enough. the man can’t stand to have his ankles cowered. and when they are it’s just societal pressure, i swear. what’s with that do you think?

His ankles are mostly exposed in Dubai, and he’s usually wearing loafers or slippers, which are both appropriate styles of shoe to wear without socks. He always wears socks with shoes that demand socks, though. I see what you mean, though, it’s an obvious preference. Although he does opt for dress shoes and socks sometimes in Dubai, like when he’s wearing that gray dress shirt in S2E2. But it might have something to do with the fact that he’s at home in Dubai. He’s dressed down. He’s in loungewear, essentially, even if it’s on the formal side. There there’s the fact that he used to go barefoot when he used to live in the catacombs or whatever underground terrain he carved out for the Children of Darkness, so maybe it’s an old preference. Honestly, it seems like it’s mostly a question of comfort. He’s at home. No reason to put on socks and lace up patent leather oxfords when he could slip on a pair of lamb skin loafers and call it a day. I might be biased, though, because I don’t wear socks at home unless it’s the middle of winter. I prefer padding around in slippers. Do most people wear socks at home?

DAY 5588

Jalsa, Mumbai                 June 5/6,  2023                 Mon/Tue  12:24 PM

🪔 .. June 06 .. birthday affection to Ef Serena Krishnan from Dubai .. Ef Sachin Kelkar from Muscat .. and Ef Marie .. happiness and good wishes .. 

💍.. and to Ef Vijji .. who's having her 36th wedding anniversary on June 6 .. our prayers of love and togetherness ever .. 🌸💕

🪔 .. and .. June 05 .. was the birthday of Ef Joshua David from Glasgow - UK .. and we missed it 😔 .. our apologies 🙏🏻 .. and our wishes to you ever filled with love and affection ..

.. the more digging in the Calendar .. the more discovery of birthdays of Ef missed from the database .. and this is regretted 😔 .. but there are serious attempts and hard work going on to retrieve all missed dates and make it up for the Ef .. 

Love ❤️

Birthday - EF - Serena Krishnan .. Tuesday, 6 June ... and our wishes as ever for this day of birth .. love ❤️

Science and technology have taken over the World and the dependence that we had on other factors is gradually moving further away .. how far, we are not knowing .. for at the end of the line there appears another and another and another .. unexplainable and unknown .. 

So we relentlessly pursue ..

... and find that the end of the line is as blank as an empty screen and a once occupied room ..

Be that as it may, the love of those that bring wonder and cheer and the joy of existence persist at every Sunday GOJ ..

poor kids .. they shall never know why they were subjected to this torture .. !!!

.. i felt they wait for hours in this sweltering heat , so to provide them drinking water with lime to quench their thirst .. 4 containers ,2 on either side of the gate .. over and above the ‘matka’ that is permanently there during the day and night

.. some sarcastically commented on a few occasions .. “ who goes out wearing socks and bare feet “ .. I say ..’I DO” ! .. you got a problem with that  !!?? 

“You go to the temple bare feet .. my well wishers are my temple  !!”

some happy ..

some not so happy ..

.. and some distant ..

the innovative Indian .. finding an opportunity and moving in to gather the fruits of it  .. or the ‘kulfi’ ... 🤣

Comfort be the elements of use in these times of uncared for attitudes , breaking away from any tradition that could have been imposed .. 

Shoes .. 

The comfort of the ‘sneakers’ or whatever else they may be called .. the nikes, the other brands , all .. now the formal wear irrespective .. 

that black patent leather, that polished bright , whatever , has disappeared .. the white bordered comfort wear be the IT .. !

at the Roland Garros the interviewer at the end of a game does a live chat on the court with the winner .. jacket pants shirt all formal .. shoes .. sneakers .. 

LOVELY .. 

this French tournament .. French , which has epitomised trend and fashion through ages , submits itself to the latest comfort .. 

I do remember a Roland Garros tournament where at the end of a game the Management asked the great French Tennis Champion, the first black French Champion to win a Grand Slam, YANNIK NOAH to come down and make a presentation to the winner .. and he came down in jacket tie and all other formals .. but in jeans .. !! 

And the crowd and the commentators murmured in a gasp at this  .. !!! 

I was so impressed by Noah to have not cared for the formal tradition and resort to the comfort of wear .. 🤣 ..

And now the entire World is comforted by jeans and sneakers .. and the ladies with the same attire - even tights - for ease of movement at work .. 

Oh ! this is a lovely World .. !!!

COVER THY MODESTY .. WITH PRIDE .. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS .. 

Love ❤️

I saw this post from @ellenchain with some beautiful illustrations of Grey in some various outfits and I would like to take this to talk about his style! I think I did it before, but let's take a closer look! This is going to be fun 😁

From canon we only get three outfits from him. The standard one he is wearing all the time which contains grey pants, a black shirt, black leather belt and black Oxfords.

The second outfit is the same with the coat.

And the third outfit is the one he was wearing in Dubai, which contains the same black T-Shirt but some cargo pants, a different black belt and boots.

All in all he is not very stylish, like his brother, but also not super old fashioned. I would call his style kinda random for a man his age. And I guess he looks more for a practical look than a modern or stylish one.

Let's take a look at the details and let's start with the coat. The coat that even 47 couldn't resist 😅 I am still not sure what kind of fabric it is. The patches and details are leather, that's for sure. But the rest of the coat is hard to say, but in the sunlight it looks like some kind of suede leather.

What's interesting is that the coat misses any pockets. Talking about practical, I think a coat with such a length and no pockets is very impractical. But since it seems like Grey only wears it open, it is easy for him to access his phone or wallet from the pockets of his pants.

And when it comes to accessories, he seems to like it simple. He wears a watch on both outfits, the classic one and the one with the cargo pants. And I assume he also wears it with the coat. We can see it in the cutscene where Grey shoots Hajun in the car, but unfortunately they forgot to add the watch to his model wearing the coat.

The watch looks not very expensive. It's a classic watch with a green canvas belt. I like that he doesn't give a fuck that it's green and doesn't fit to everything. His brother probably would choose a silver or black watch to an all grey/black outfit. So maybe it's Greys favourite watch. Maybe it was a gift? 👀

Another "accessory" he often wears is the bandage around his elbow. We never found out why he was wearing it, but we know that he was not wearing it all the time.

So I guess it functions as some kind of support or stabilisation. Maybe he has some sort of epicondylitis 🤷‍♀️

Looking at 47s outfits, Grey can wear most of them, but somehow they don't "fit" him, because he is not the stylish kind of guy. For example, when it comes to suits and he can choose, I am sure he would choose not to wear any bow or tie. Only if it's really necessary he would wear a suit with a tie. This suit here is perfect for him.

And I really like a hoodie on him, even though it looks a bit like Mid-Life-Crisis 😅 I don't like the pants and shoes though, and I am not sure if Grey would wear a hoodie like that.

I would like to think that he would choose some sneakers, but looking at his "standard" outfits I am quite sure that aside from some running shoes he doesn't own any sneakers. So I guess I am mistaken him here and he would indeed wear hoodies like that. Like I said. Midlife-Crisis 😅

And last but not least: Sunglasses. Unfortunately, when changing his model with the one from 47, some of the sunglasses don't fit Greys head, because it's bigger than 47s. But here are some examples that kinda work with his head and give a good expression, how sunglasses look on him.

I personally like the one from the Florida fit the most (but I hate the polo shirt). I think it suits his face very well. The Aviator glasses are too small for his head and the ones from the Agent 17 suit are too old fashioned, even for him 😅

All in all I would say that his style is okay, but I think he can learn much from his younger brother �� What do you think about Greys style?

[nalyra-dreaming]

Hi!! Hope you've enjoyed the new clip!

In honor of it, what do you think modern day lestat will wear? (I really hope we get to see that) cause I'm having trouble deciding.

I definitely don't see him dressing like Louis so the minimalist black aesthetic is out but I can't see him donning a shirt like armand either.

Are we thinking colors? T-shirts with band logos on them?

I think in modern day and age he'd go for more bold looks but no idea what that would look like 😅

Hey!

Oh, I have! Thank you, hope you did, too :)

Hmmmm.

So I can see Lestat wear jeans in modern times, with expensive shirts, for example. Expensive sweaters. (A little bit like Sam there...) Armani suits. Sleek, black(*), expensive. Some color, some jewelry. Bespoke suits and clothes, too, bespoke shoes.

(*) I put an asterisk there because while I do think Lestat will like black ... that does not mean it will be the minimalist aesthetic, as you put it. I can see black leather, and deep red shirts. Or blue. The cut of the times. Stripes. Patterns. Maybe even a pimped up red velvet jacket, I had a red velvet Armani one years ago, and that I could see. Shirts that play with "old fashion" but are actually not. You know :)

Show Lestat seemed to go much more with the time, and fashion, at least after encountering Louis.

Of course, by the time we (will) encounter him in Dubai things have happened... it will depend heavily on what kind of things those were wrt what Lestat might wear then.

Maybe he'll be very dusty, and wear old clothes.

But as soon as he is himself again? In modern times?

Fashion, baby :)))

I don't think he'll wear (band) logos, or if he does, then those with a double meaning, or which carry tongue-in-cheek-meaning for vampires.

But any and all clothes will be cut to show him off - we saw some of that in s1, though that is colored through Louis' perception - it will be interesting to see if the more "neutral" perception changes something there.

... Also:

This is likely the "good" version of the trial, and I think we're seeing hints there already. I don't think it can be extrapolated from this 100%, but... IDK. There is something that rings true, especially if taking this as a "front" for the maybe? possibly? potentially? planted? repressed? purposefully changed? memory.

Because if that speculation, that this is the "good" trial version, holds true? Then that mental image / narration must have come from somewhere. And that is the part that makes this so interesting to me. If that makes sense :)

Sooooooo.

Sleek/expensive black with deliberate splashes/parts of color and expensive jewelry.

I mean, what was that in Prince Lestat?

And as I set out to go, dressed in a new red-velvet coat and black pants and nice spiffy midcalf boots generously provided by Armand along with some old-fashioned lace at my throat,[...]

... Black pants, a nice shirt, some spiffy boots and a red coat.

Provided by Armand.

(Whose version of events we're probably on for the trial there. And that red velvet chair with the golden finish is most certainly no coincidence^^)

You know?^^

[scientia-rex]

I need someone to write in detail about how the current flex culture is both similar to and different from the culture of, say, Victorian England. I understand, from reading many, many Victorian stories over the years, by which I mean stories written during the Victorian era, why displaying wealth was so critical. If you didn't display wealth, the general assumption would be that you didn't have it. You'd be less likely to get business or loans, less likely for family members to contract advantageous marriages, etc. So you paid for your daughter to wear a different gown every time she went out, and you paid for a fancy carriage, and you hosted dinners for people you didn't enjoy, and so on, because you quite literally had to. Sure, you could choose to retire to a country estate, but everyone would assume it was because you were broke. Right? Or am I SUPER wrong? I don't know! I'm not a historian!

But these days--like, look at the luxury jewelry market. There are so many options out there to spend 20 grand on a necklace, you could drown in them. Many of them are not branded, and many are also just not that interesting or distinctive. You cannot expect someone to read your wealth instantly the way they could when someone would assess in one glance: velvet? silk? or cotton? The color of dye is no longer legally regulated. I can wear Tyrian purple if I'm broke as shit. Gold-plated jewelry is visually indistinguishable from solid gold jewelry at a fraction of the cost. Good fakes of any imaginable high-end bag or shoe exist. Items, themselves, are no long inherently signifiers of wealth the way they were pre-industrialization, because we have reached a point where it is comparatively very easy to acquire things.

So what purpose is the designer jewelry serving now? And designer clothes? When I'm sure there are many, many items that rich men and women could not tell apart at a glance, and there is not (I'm sorry) some kind of magical quality differential that makes them recognizably high-end. (Watch the Tanner Leatherstein channel on YouTube to have your ideas about high-end leather products deconstructed before your eyes.)

Like, I'm sure some things operate exactly the same. I'm sure there's a narrow elite in Silicon Valley and I'm sure they recognize each other's wealth signifiers effortlessly. The same super-expensive "casual" sneakers and t-shirts. But what happens when those people end up at a party with Bostonian old money??? And that's just two of the ultra-rich possibilities out there! There are different signifiers for Indian families, and for Chinese families, and for Dubai oil money vs Brazilian vs English--like, any culture has their ultra-wealthy and the signifiers they use can be wildly different!

YouTube has a lot of videos about flex culture, but these all seem to focus on how detrimental it is. Which it is! It's terrible! Don't spend your money on a designer thing for being designer as if that's going to GET you something. It's not. Especially if you are not in the kind of circles where that type of wealth signifier is useful.

Anyway, if you know of any good explorations of this, let me know, because it has REALLY been on my mind lately. And with the COVID, I have nothing but time.*

@badtrigger​ : “ little late for a stroll. ” // vaas | * 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒  𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐄. ( accepting )

One step, two, feet stumble back, near tripping over the pair of trainers not fully on her feet, unblocking the gang president’s path into his clubhouse apartment — a place of haven since her sudden dismissal from the corp, since a price on her head drove her out of her North Oak estate. At the door she stood fumbling with her shoes and on the verge of unwisely stepping outside, making Vaas’s stated assumption apt. The hint of suspicion she suspects behind it is perhaps warranted. She shouldn’t be wandering about. Acknowledge it and him she might if not for drowning, caught awash in fear, wide eyes staring blankly to her front, air barely filling her lungs — outside she thought she could run away from it; she thought she could breathe.

The flat is filled with the quick paced voice of a newscaster on N54 reporting on developments in Night City, Paris, Kyoto, and Dubai of mass genocides of Arasaka employees. Speculations are vague, but Brianne knows the truth — she knows Yorinobu Arasaka is eliminating other faction members to take full control of corp. The suspicion festered in her mind before her dismissal and after, but she never wanted to believe it. 

“Vaas?” Delayed recognition speaks to her bewilderment. Glossed over gaze just as slow to connect to red orbs that behold her strange behavior with distanced confusion. Without thought of it being unwelcome, hated even, she lunges towards him, hands clenching at his leather jacket’s lapel, her forehead folding into his chest. A hopeless plea for help. “I can’t breathe, Vaas,” she sobs through short breaths. “My stepmom’s in Paris. I don’t know where Vez is. He’s executing all of them!”

Leather Testing in the UAE: How Labs Verify the Durability and Safety of Footwear | +971 554747210

The UAE is known for its luxury goods market, high-end fashion, and discerning consumers who demand quality products. Among these goods, leather footwear holds a significant place, especially in fashion-conscious cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Leather shoes, boots, and sandals are prized for their durability, style, and comfort. However, ensuring that leather footwear meets the highest standards of durability and safety is no easy task. This is where leather testing lab play a vital role.

Leather testing labs in the UAE are equipped with the latest technology and expertise to evaluate the quality, durability, and safety of leather footwear. These labs help manufacturers and retailers verify that their leather products meet international safety standards and consumer expectations. In this blog, we will explore how leather testing labs in the UAE verify the durability and safety of footwear and why these tests are critical for both manufacturers and consumers.

The Importance of Leather Footwear in the UAE

Footwear, especially leather shoes, is a staple in the wardrobes of UAE residents. In a country where fashion is a reflection of status and identity, consumers look for shoes that are not only stylish but also durable and safe to wear. Leather footwear is particularly valued for its longevity, comfort, and breathability in hot climates like the UAE. High-end brands, as well as local manufacturers, aim to provide premium leather footwear that meets the expectations of their clientele.

However, producing leather shoes that are both fashionable and durable requires rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand everyday use, provide comfort, and ensure safety. This is where leather testing labs in the UAE come in, ensuring that every pair of shoes meets stringent quality requirements.

The Role of Leather Testing Labs in Footwear Safety and Durability

Leather testing labs offer a wide range of tests that assess various aspects of leather footwear, from durability and comfort to safety and environmental impact. These tests are crucial for manufacturers who want to ensure their products are of high quality and meet international standards for safety and durability.

Here are some of the key areas where leather testing labs in the UAE focus when evaluating footwear:

1. Durability Testing: Ensuring Long-Lasting Footwear

Durability is one of the most critical factors for leather footwear, especially in markets like the UAE, where consumers expect long-lasting products that offer value for money. Leather testing labs perform a variety of tests to assess the strength and endurance of leather shoes under different conditions.

Tensile Strength Testing

Tensile strength testing is essential to evaluate how much force leather can withstand before it tears or breaks. This test is particularly important for leather shoes, which endure constant movement and stress during wear. By ensuring that the leather used in footwear has high tensile strength, manufacturers can guarantee that their shoes will not easily rip or wear out.

Flexing Endurance Testing

Leather shoes must be able to flex repeatedly without cracking or losing their structural integrity. Flexing endurance testing simulates real-world conditions by repeatedly bending the leather to assess its flexibility and resistance to cracking. This is crucial for footwear such as boots and shoes, which undergo constant flexing as the wearer walks.

Abrasion Resistance Testing

Footwear is subject to continuous contact with rough surfaces, which can lead to wear and tear. Abrasion resistance testing evaluates how well leather can withstand friction and scuffing. Leather testing labs in the UAE use this test to ensure that shoes maintain their appearance and functionality, even with regular use on various surfaces.

Water Resistance Testing

Leather footwear is often exposed to water, whether from rain, humidity, or accidental spills. Water resistance testing assesses how well leather repels water and how it reacts when wet. This test is particularly important for boots and outdoor footwear, ensuring that the leather does not degrade or become damaged when exposed to moisture.

2. Safety Testing: Protecting Consumers

In addition to durability, leather footwear must also meet safety standards to protect consumers from potential hazards. Leather testing labs in the UAE perform a variety of safety tests to ensure that footwear is free from harmful substances and safe to wear for extended periods.

Chemical Testing: Ensuring Safe Materials

Leather tanning and dyeing processes can sometimes involve harmful chemicals, such as chromium VI or azo dyes, which pose health risks to consumers. Chemical testing checks for the presence of these toxic substances in leather shoes. Ensuring that footwear is free from harmful chemicals is crucial for consumer safety, particularly for products that come into direct contact with the skin.

Formaldehyde Testing

Formaldehyde is sometimes used in leather production as a preservative or anti-wrinkle agent. However, exposure to high levels of formaldehyde can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Leather testing labs perform formaldehyde testing to ensure that leather footwear complies with safety regulations and is safe for consumer use.

Slip Resistance Testing

Footwear must offer a secure grip on various surfaces to prevent slips and falls. Slip resistance testing evaluates how well leather soles perform on wet and dry surfaces, ensuring that shoes provide adequate traction and reduce the risk of accidents. This is particularly important for leather footwear worn in professional or outdoor settings where slip hazards are common.

3. Comfort and Performance Testing: Meeting Consumer Expectations

In addition to durability and safety, leather footwear must also provide comfort and performance to meet consumer expectations. Leather testing labs conduct several tests to assess how well shoes perform in terms of comfort, breathability, and overall wearability.

Breathability Testing

Leather is known for its natural breathability, which makes it a popular choice for footwear in hot climates like the UAE. Breathability testing measures how well leather allows air to pass through, ensuring that shoes remain comfortable and prevent excessive sweating, even in warm weather.

Sole Flexibility Testing

The soles of leather shoes must be flexible enough to allow for natural movement while walking, but rigid enough to provide support. Sole flexibility testing evaluates the balance between flexibility and support, ensuring that shoes are comfortable for extended wear.

Heel Impact Testing

Leather footwear, particularly heels, must be able to absorb impact while walking or standing. Heel impact testing assesses how well leather shoes distribute weight and cushion the foot, providing both comfort and protection from long-term wear issues, such as foot fatigue or joint strain.

4. Compliance with International Standards

Leather footwear sold in the UAE must comply with both local and international standards to ensure quality and safety. Leather testing labs help manufacturers adhere to these standards, ensuring their products are accepted in global markets. Some of the key international standards for leather footwear include:

ISO 20345: Specifies safety standards for protective footwear, including requirements for impact resistance, slip resistance, and chemical resistance.

REACH Compliance: Ensures that footwear meets the European Union’s regulations on the use of chemicals in leather products.

ASTM Standards: Specifies safety and performance standards for various aspects of leather footwear, such as tensile strength and water resistance.

By ensuring compliance with these standards, leather testing labs help manufacturers in the UAE meet the necessary requirements for both domestic and international markets.

The Benefits of Leather Testing for Footwear Manufacturers

Working with leather testing labs in the UAE offers numerous benefits for footwear manufacturers and retailers, including:

Quality Assurance: Leather testing labs ensure that products meet high-quality standards, helping manufacturers build consumer trust and avoid costly returns or recalls.

Compliance with Regulations: By testing for harmful chemicals and safety hazards, leather testing labs help manufacturers comply with local and international safety regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues or penalties.

Enhanced Durability: Testing helps manufacturers identify weaknesses in their products before they reach the market, ensuring that shoes are durable and long-lasting.

Consumer Safety: By conducting thorough safety tests, leather testing labs protect consumers from potential health hazards, improving brand reputation and consumer satisfaction.

Conclusion

In a market like the UAE, where consumers expect high-quality, durable, and safe footwear, leather testing labs play a crucial role in ensuring that leather shoes meet these demands. From testing for durability and comfort to verifying safety and compliance with international standards, leather testing labs help manufacturers produce footwear that not only looks great but performs well in everyday use. For businesses in the UAE’s fashion and footwear industries, partnering with leather testing labs is essential for maintaining high standards, ensuring customer satisfaction, and expanding into international markets. By ensuring the durability and safety of their products, manufacturers can confidently deliver high-quality leather footwear that meets the expectations of even the most discerning consumers.

How to Maintain Specialty Footwear in Dubai’s Climate: Cleaning Tips for Different Types

Keeping your specialty footwear in top condition requires specific cleaning methods tailored to each type of shoe. Dubai’s unique climate—hot and often dusty—adds its own challenges. Here’s how to care for your shoes in this environment to ensure they remain looking great and last longer.

Leather Shoes

Leather shoes are classic and stylish, but they need special care. Starting by gently brushing off any dust or dirt. Use a leather cleaner suitable for your shoe’s color and apply it with a soft cloth.

Conditioning is essential to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking, so choose a high-quality conditioner and apply it evenly. Finish by polishing your shoes to bring back their shine. Regular cleaning and conditioning will keep your leather shoes looking their best in Dubai’s heat.

Care for Suede and Nubuck

Suede and nubuck shoes are beautiful but require gentle handling. Use a suede brush to remove dirt without damaging the texture. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be helpful. Nubuck, which is similar but finer than suede, needs similar care.

Use a soft brush and a specialized cleaner for stains. Let check your shoes dry completely before storing them. To protect against Dubai’s dust and humidity, apply a suede and nubuck protector spray to keep them looking new.

Athletic Shoes and Sneakers

Athletic shoes and sneakers often get quite dirty. Start by removing the laces and insoles. Wash them separately and clean the insoles with mild detergent. For the shoes, use a mixture of water and mild detergent. Gently scrub with a brush or cloth to remove dirt.

Avoid soaking the shoes as it can damage them. Rinse with water and let them air dry away from direct heat. Regular cleaning will keep your sneakers fresh and ready for Dubai’s active lifestyle.

Dress Shoes and Formal Footwear

Dress shoes and formal footwear need extra attention to maintain their polished look. Start by removing dust with a soft brush. Clean the surface with a leather cleaner and a soft cloth. Use a conditioner to keep the leather moisturized and prevent it from drying out.

For a perfect shine, use a matching shoe polish and buff it with a soft brush. Store your shoes with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Proper care will keep your formal footwear sharp and ready for any occasion.

Boots and Heavy-Duty Shoes

Boots and heavy-duty shoes are built for tough conditions but still need care. Start by brushing off dirt and mud with a stiff brush. For leather boots, use a cleaner and conditioner to maintain their durability. For waterproof boots, make sure the waterproofing treatment is still effective.

Clean fabric boots with a mild detergent and brush. Regularly check for wear and tear, especially on steel-toe and work boots. Prompt attention to any issues will keep your boots functional and looking good.

Maintaining specialty footwear involves using the right techniques and products for each type of shoe. Whether it’s leather, suede, athletic, or boots, the right care will ensure your shoes stay in excellent condition despite Dubai’s climate. For those extra tough jobs, professional shoe cleaning services in Dubai can provide expert care. Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your footwear looking great and performing well, no matter what you put them through.

Mike and Jason were not getting along. It was nothing major. Just them being brothers. Jason didn’t like him intruding into his personal life while Mike didn’t care for him hooking up with random men. He didn’t say anything about him hooking up with a guy at the club. It was on his face that something happened. They got into an argument, while Bria and Joe went to ask for more towels. It was cut short when they came back with news that the towels were being washed.

They would have to check back later. That was fine. They could ask about them later. They all wanted to go shopping, so they all got ready to go. She pointed at the brothers. No fighting on vacation. They both agreed to that. Their conversation would have to wait until they got home. It would give them both time to think, instead of acting on emotions.

The Dubai Mall was not just a mall. It had so much more, including an ice skating rink. They grabbed a taxi that took them to the mall. It was huge and it had more than just shopping and food! It also had an ice skating rink. There was a map showing all of the twelve thousand plus stores and restaurants, including where they were located. It was written in Arabic, so they couldn’t translate it. They decided to just walk around and see what they could find.

Jason jokingly asked her if she was going to fill the plane with her purchases. No. He laughed. The boys had fun looking at clothes, shoes, and accessories for men. It was a lot more than what they had in America. It was way too expensive, though. Oh, well. It was still fun to look at and try on. They took pictures of each other.

Bria found one of her favorite stores. Kate Spade. Why was it her favorite? She loved the colorful designs. It was also less expensive than other luxury brands. They had to agree it was very colorful, though they couldn’t tell one handbag from another. She found the one she had her eye on. It was a beautiful purple color. She looked at the price tag. It was 910.77 AED. They calculated the difference in American money. It was about $248.

That was cheap. How the hell was that cheap?

“A handbag like this at the more expensive brands costs over a thousand dollars, especially since it’s leather and big.”

“Bria, you know that means nothing to us”, Joe said.

“A Ferrari costs a hundred thousand dollars. A Toyota costs a thousand dollars. This is a Toyota.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

That made it simple to understand. They were guys, so they knew nothing about handbags.

Meow. Woody was high above the dogs. Haha, you can’t get me! He climbed up the stairs to the perch above the door. Buddy and Missy looked up at him. How did you get up there? Buddy tried climbing up, but his legs were too short. That damn cat! Missy told him not to bother. He grumbled as he went back to the toys.

He was playing with a stuffed squirrel. It squeaked when he bit down into its stomach. He pretended it was a real squirrel that he had caught. Maybe someday he would catch one. They were always too fast. It was as if they were taunting him as they looked down at him from the trees. Haha! You can’t catch me, dog! He growled. Bark! Bark! Since they were indoors, he would have to make do with the toys. At least they gave him something to chew on.

They went out earlier to use the bathroom and run around. That was always a lot of fun! He loved running around! His little legs had to move. The yard had high fencing to keep coyotes and other predators out. The cat didn’t get to go outside. He was happy he was a dog. When they came back in, he got some water because running around made him thirsty. Yum! Yum!

Now the damn cat was taunting him. Their human should get more dogs for them to play with. Bark! Bark! Missy was barking at the humans walking by. Hi, humans! Her tail wagged because she wanted to say hi to them. She pawed at the door. One of them stopped and said hello to her through the glass. He opened the door and came over to them. Hi, human! Hi, human! Woody made his presence known by pawing at his head. He looked up at him with a smile.

“What are you doing up there? Are you hanging out?”

Yes, I am. He scratched his arm. When he left, he used his paw to clean his face.

The Burj Khalifa, or the world’s tallest skyscraper. They took the elevator up to the top. It was 2,716.5 feet tall. When they looked out the windows, they could see for miles! They were surrounded by desert on all sides. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They all took pictures of the view and of each other. When they got home, they would have to get their pictures developed. Then they could have the memories with them forever.

When they got back down, she received a phone call from Brad asking if she was in town. No, she was in Dubai.

“Oh, yeah. I forgot. Who went with you?”

“Mike, Jason, and Joe. We’re staying for a week and a half. What’s going on?”

“I wanted to tell you this in person but since I’m talking to you now, Rob and I broke up.”

“Oh no. I’m sorry. Do you need a place to stay? I have an extra key.”

“Thank you. We’re going to remain friends. If that’s okay with you.”

“Don’t worry about it. Make yourself at home. The only thing you will need is groceries.”

She let him know where her spare key was hidden. Where were her pets? She boarded them. Okay. He would text her when he got inside. The boys wanted to know what happened. Brad was staying at her place because he and Rob broke up. They were devastated to hear that. Mike had a feeling that he knew what happened. They couldn’t agree on having children or getting married.

They were best friends, so he didn’t think it had been a messy breakup. Still, breakups sucked even if they were mutual. He would text him later to see how he was doing. Since they were all hungry, they went down to the restaurants.

Brad would miss having Rob as his boyfriend. They were both adults and they would not let their breakup affect the band. It was just something they needed to work through separately. Rob assured him he would be okay. If he needed anything, he would call Phoenix. Okay. Why did they break up? They couldn’t agree on adopting children or getting married. They tried everything, including negotiating. Eventually, they had to realize they were not going to agree.

Bria’s house was quiet. It was strange because he expected to hear her dogs barking. They were being boarded while she was gone. He kind of wished he hadn’t declined to go to Dubai. Oh, well. Maybe he would get to go there someday.

He couldn’t wait to hear about the trip! As he put his bag away in the garage guest apartment, he looked around. How did he get so lucky to have a friend like Bria? He sat down at the table and thought about what he would do for dinner. As he was thinking, he got a call from Phoenix. He just heard from Rob and wanted to make sure he was okay. No, but he would be eventually. He invited him to hang out with him and Linsey. Yeah, he was on his way.
