The products surveyed included Dupont Shoes (Jet Men's Casual 342 Loafer), Rockport (Trueflex M Kayden Mudguard Slip-On), Landrover (Men's Slip-On), Misope (Cowhide Loafer), Soda (Men's Casual), Geox (Men's Adector), and Hush Puppies (Men's Cowhide Lightweight Comfort Loafer), totaling seven products.


During walking, the pressure on the feet was relatively better in three products: Rockport, Geox, and Hush Puppies. Joint fatigue was lower in two products: Dupont Shoes and Rockport, and Misope products showed less slipping on both marble and epoxy surfaces.


The adhesion strength between the upper and outsole was sturdy in Landrover and Hush Puppies products, while resistance to outsole abrasion was excellent in Landrover, and resistance to upper abrasion was superior in Rockport, Landrover, and Hush Puppies.


When the Consumer Agency surveyed satisfaction after wearing shoes on 30 men with a foot size of 270mm, Hush Puppies (4.1 points out of 5) and Rockport (4 points) ranked highest in satisfaction.



All seven products met safety standards. The Consumer Agency explained that, based on a comprehensive evaluation of overall wearing satisfaction and walking functionality relative to price, the cost-effectiveness of the Hush Puppies product was the best.
