Sneakers QC checks before you approve shipping for Kako Scout

QC is easier when you check the same things in the same order. For sneakers, the goal is not to find tiny flaws for sport. The goal is to catch anything that would still bother you after international shipping.

Kako Scout treats this page like a small scorecard: shape, photos, price, risk, and whether the item deserves a place in the cart.

Photos to request

Ask for a full front or side view first, then detail shots around the areas most likely to fail. For sneakers, that usually means side shape, toe height, heel alignment, logo placement, sole color.

Pass, pause or replace

• Pass when the item matches the listing and the important details are visible.
• Pause when color, scale, stitching, labels or hardware cannot be judged from the photos.
• Replace when the issue changes the way the item will look or fit after shipping.

Do not overreact to normal warehouse photos

Lighting can be flat, colors can shift, and small packaging marks happen. Focus on shape, alignment, visible materials and details that cannot be fixed once the parcel arrives.

A good pick does not need a perfect score. It needs enough clear signals that you are not buying on hope.
