Here at VS, we source our shoes from a variety of places, we often find deals through building relationships over the years. we strive to bring credibility to every platform we are on. We also buy some of our products from customers and others who are looking to trade in their old sneakers. For every, shoe we buy here at VS, we have our checklist they must go through in order to be posted up and be ready for sale. First, we check the shoe ourselves before buying, we look for any signs of fakes and defects. We check tags and stitching on sneakers. Second, we put our shoes through an online verifying app. This app requires shoe/model-specific photos for quality checking. The service is paid as well, and all shoes are 2nd checked by a professional online. If everything checks out, our new product is ready to be made market ready. We do this by doing a necessary cleaning on the shoe. We use shoe-friendly soap in order to scrub and wash the top parts of the shoe, and we use shoe-friendly chemicals for the bottom. These chemicals help us remove scuffs and other spots of dirt from the bottom of the shoe. We often place crease removers in our products, in order to help the shape of the shoe. After this, our product is ready to be put up for sale, and wait till a lucky customer picks it up, and finds these sneakers a second warm home.
