## Frequently asked questions

### How can you tell shoes were worn outside?

Grit and scuffing on the sole, a foot impression in the insole, and set creases at the flex point. Indoor try on leaves soles clean.

### Is one crease on a shoe proof of wear?

No. One soft flex crease can come from try on. Deep, multiple creases plus sole marks are the reliable combination.

### Should smelly shoes be refused?

Odor alone is tricky. Combined with insole impressions and sole wear, it supports a worn finding under most policies.
